摘要
背景
人们对手术控制雄性猫生殖能力的替代方法越来越感兴趣，由此产生的医疗选项丰富了兽医在临床实践中处理这些问题的工具。然而，重要的是，当推荐这些药物时，兽医必须充分理解它们的作用机制以及正确的使用方法和剂量。
临床相关性
猫的繁育者越来越希望能够控制雄性猫的生殖能力的开启/关闭。此外，在小动物医学领域，一些学者和越来越多的宠主对手术绝育可能产生的长期影响感到担忧。一些猫由于健康状况导致麻醉不安全，无法进行手术阉割。对于这些情况，可能使用药物替代手术是有利的。
设备和技术技能
不需要特殊设备或技术技能。然而，彻底地了解替代手术控制雄性猫生殖能力的药物，确定适合使用的患猫，这对于确保猫在治疗期间和治疗后的健康以及主人的满意度都很重要。
受众
该综述主要（但不仅限于）针对与猫繁育者合作并寻求暂时阻断其雄性猫生殖能力的兽医。它也能帮助那些寻求手术替代方案的宠主或者无法进行麻醉后手术阉割的猫。
证据基础
猫产科学的进步增加了人们对避孕知识的了解。该综述引用了循证医学的文献，这些文献报告了不同医学避孕方法的作用机制、有效时间和潜在副作用，并结合了作者自己的临床经验。

Reversible control of reproduction in tom cats: medical options for manipulating libido and fertility
Abstract
Background
There has been a growing interest in alternatives to surgery for controlling reproduction in tom cats, and the resultant medical options add to a practitioner’s toolbox when handling these cases in clinical practice. It is important, however, that when suggesting these drugs, veterinarians have a good understanding of their mode of action, and their correct use and dosage.
Clinical relevance
Breeders increasingly wish to be able to switch on/off the reproductive ability of their tom cats in a controlled manner. In addition, in small animal medicine, there has been concern from some academics, and a growing number of pet cat owners, about potential long-term effects of surgical sterilisation. Further, for some cats surgical castration may not be possible due to health conditions that mean anaesthesia is unsafe. In all of these scenarios, medical alternatives to surgery can prove useful.
Equipment and technical skills
No special equipment or technical skills are required. A good knowledge of the medical alternatives to surgical sterilisation for controlling reproduction in a tom, and making sure the patient is a suitable candidate, are, however, important for ensuring the cat’s health during and after treatment and the owner’s satisfaction.
Audience
This review is aimed principally (but not exclusively) at veterinary practitioners working with cat breeders who seek a temporary arrest in their tom cat’s reproduction. It may also help practitioners with clients who would like an alternative to surgery or with cats where anaesthesia for surgical castration is not possible.
Evidence base
Advances in reproductive feline medicine have resulted in improved knowledge of medical contraception. This review draws on scientific evidence-based papers that report on the mode of action, length of efficacy and potential side effects of different methods of medical contraception, as well as the authors’ own clinical experience.
