This is why they say breeding isnt for the faint...<g> IF SHE WAS MY BITCH: I would do a complete blood panel, vaginal culture, calcium check, also check for microplasma and brucellosis and also have her thyroids tested. I woulndt breed her until I knew she could carry a healthy litter of puppies. I would also change vets and deal with one more in tune with reproductions issues. What I wouldnt do is start her on antibiotics just because, as you dont know what you are treating for, and there is a likelihood of administering something to your bitch that will load her system and doesnt help her situation. Let us know what you find out, or let me know in private. Reproduction issues are very intriguing to me. Best of luck. Ileana In a message dated 7/8/2011 9:46:13 P.M.

She had a litter 18 months ago that was still born. Since then she has not become pregnant. I have received information about pre-treatment of antibiotics prior to breeding, but my vet is against. Any feedback that can be provide would be great!
