Just thought I would let every one know that all is fine at this time. Tula is doing good and her one pup is doing good too.....we did loose 4 sadly during our ordeal. The vet feels that this was NOT a reaction to the oxytocin since it is such a simple med but feels the bottle was contaminated. We of course are throwing that bottle away. His suggestions were to rebreed her have a NEW bottle of oxytocin and he would give me epi and prednisone to have on hand just incase she indeed does have an issue with the oxytocin which he seriously doubts. It would be VERY interesting to hear what everyone else's vets say about reactions to oxytocin. I am just glad she is back to herself and had a nice big breakfast:) Rebecca Little Peakes Brook German Shepherds http://sites.centralpets.com/mammals/peakesbrookgsd/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rebecca Little" <pbgs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2007 9:56 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] has anyone ever seen a reaction to oxcytocin??????
