"Gonadectomy (groups I (7 weeks) and II (7 months) delayed closure of the distal radial growth plate in both dogs and cats as compared with sexually intact controls. This allowed for an extended period... Thus, rather than causing stunted growth, prepubertal gonadectomy may actually result in normal or greater stature. This delay in physeal closure probably occurs because gonadal hormones facilitate physeal cartilage maturation; in their absence the growth plate remains open for a longer period of time. In dogs, gonadectomy did not affect growth rate, food intake, weight gain, or back-fat depth (body fat)."
