Lori, forgive me but you need a new vet. And why would you "have" to breed her again???? and/or on her next cycle???? I understand your bitch had an infection and I see what the vet gave her (not sure I would have gone that way, might have just given pit to make SURE there wasn't anything else in there coupled w/ antibiotics)....but I don't see why you'd have to breed her the next cycle or for that matter again. If I was dealing w/ a bitch of mine who had uterine inertia w/ a prior litter, IF I was going to breed her again I'd schedule a c-section. Also I keep amoxycillin on hand and after a difficult deliver, puppy stuck etc., I routinely start w/ a double dose of amoxy for 72 hours then drop the dose down to normal for the balance of 10 days. That doesn't hurt the puppies. And yes, with my vet's blessing.

But no one has seen him at the dog shows for a few years now. I used my last of it and no vet around here will sell it or give an RX for it. They sell it in vet supply magazines. But it requires an RX. I lost 3 puppies and my bitch got a uterine infection because I didn't have the oxytocin to give her after the last puppy. Nine hours after that last puppy she kicked out a dead stiff puppy. Two days later she had a 107.5 temp. with the infection. I ended up hand feeding 5 puppies while mom was on antibiotics. I hate to go through that again so I'm trying to get some oxytocin before I breed again and I'll have to breed this bitch the next heat because of the shots he had to give her to clean her out (Lutalyse).
