oxyie Not sure...I am going to look it up... |
Lacy puppy #2 I went to vet on Tuesday to have Lacy and #1 pup checked out and all is well with both. I asked my vet if I did any thing wrong when puppy #2 was not breathing when she was born. The vet said I did every thing right and there is really no explaining why puppy #2 didn't make it. It put me alittle a ease knowing My husband and I did every thing we could to get puppy to breath and the vet confirmed it. I will post pictures as soon as I learn how, as I'm a new viewer |
I am so happy that Lacey and her baby had a good checkup with your vet. Thank you for the update. I can't tell you how very sorry I am about puppy #2, but I know you all did everything there was to be done. Looking forward to seeing Lacey and her baby. God bless you all! |

Oxcytocin is givin to human maternity patients to assist in speeding up the contractions......It is a drug and can only be purchased through Doctors/Vetinarians. |
Oxcie I want to stress that oxcytocin is a very valuable drug in the hands of an expericenced breeder. Never administer it haphazardly...it must be used in the correct dosage, at the correct times. I have never used it before the actually whelping of the first pup without the vets input and okay. It is a valuable drug for the breeder..prevents many fatal deaths and c-sections..and it is valuable to use after whelping to clean out the uterus and prevent infections. I agree, you did all you could to save your puppy...I am not finding any fault with you in that area..everything is a learning experince and a long whelping can and does result in fatal death sometimes...and then sometimes they just do not breath and that is heart breaking. I wish you all the best with your next litters..but puppies will always die, it is a cruel fact of Mother Nature...that is why the ones that survive are so very precious to us. |
Question - just out of curiosity, have not bred, have been "thinking" about it for 3 years now - anyway, how do you administer the oxy- inject into the muscle in the rear? |

Into to muscle in the rear? As it does sting and they jerk, I usually have someone hold. I administer it 12-24 hours after she's whelped. If needed during the whelping process I will only administer it if the Vet has instructed me to. |
