Vets will tell you it's OK .. most breeders will say different.
I will NOT be using Flea or Heartworm meds any more while mine are pregnant.
I have a female that lost one and went on to carry 2 having them on the early side.
The second time she was pregnant she lost the 1 she carried early.
Both time she was given heartworm meds about the same time, Late in her pregnancy.
Was it from the chemicals or just something that happened..I don't know.
I may breed her one more time and see how she does without using any chemicals.
At least I'll know if it happens again, it wasn't because of the use of chemicals.
There have been other breeders who wondered if using these chemicals had caused birth defects to some pups that were born. |
