I give NO medication to my poregnant females. I bought a female that was bred to a top winning show dog overseas...really expecting a great litter...all 4 of the babies were born dead, with horrific, extensive cleft palates....you track back to the week in embryo where heads and mouths are formed, and you then look at what happened during that time frame....in this case, the female was given heart worm medication!
I do not give ANYTHING while my ladies are pregnant....they are very well maintained up until the time they are bred....this carries them over very well for the next two months of pregnancy, and the 12 - 14 weeks post whelp, whelp pups are nursing.... |
