We perform chemical castration on male rats. They receive brief gas anesthesia, chemical castration, and 3 days of pain meds to go home. We perform this procedure wednesday afternoons. Check in is 12:30-1:00 pm for rats, and pick up is 3:30 the same day.
We use 24% salt for the chemical castration and inject it into each testicle.
This procedure is a common practice in research settings with rats but not as common with pet rats.
We are seeing a success rate of 96%.
