I have only had one litter and the next litter is due in a few weeks, but I have decided not to use it unless absolutely necessary. My mentor who has been breeding for over ten years and works for a vet told me to be very leery of it. There are alot of side effects and it can really stress the mama out. Why make her have contractions when she is done giving birth if you are sure all placentas and babies are out? We humans wouldn't want to do that to our bodies after having a baby! Contractions are bad enough without bringing on more. I say let nature take its place and know your dog's body signals. I think we as breeders can usually sense when there is a problem. When in doubt consult your vet for the best advice. |
