This vet says it can only be done cut while the bitch is in season so that
you can ensure you cut the correct bands and than breed the following
season. I know several people on the list have talked about having this
problem. Does this sound pretty much like what your vet said? What is the
thought that this is hereditary? The bitch is about 5years, would age be a
factor in this?
Secondly, can anyone recommend a vet that my friends vet can call? Not
having done this before, she said she would be more comfortable being able
to conference with an experienced vet in this procedure.
Thanks,

Deena,
I can't say that I have an extensive experience with this but I have had two
bitches with rings that could not be bred naturally - I bred them both
artificially (one surgical implant and one intracervical implant)- I had
puppies
in both instances (seven puppies in one litter and five puppies in the other
litter) and these were easy natural whelpings (no C sections). Both vets
(reproductive specialists) explained that hormonal changes dissolve the rings
(I
know it sounds strange but that was the explanation and I did not question
the experts). The first bitch was bred three more times, naturally, and
always
had natural whelpings.
I recommend that your friend finds a reproductive specialist vet in her
area. Good luck.
Dania
