When buying a small puppy, novice owners often do not think about the problems they will have to face. Many owners prefer to take girls, as it is believed that they are calmer and more amenable to training. However, the bitch grows up, she starts to heat, and the owners get a headache.
It is necessary
- - "Covinan";
- - "Depo-promon".
Instructions
Step 1
Once the dog is in heat, it cannot be stopped. The owners can only postpone her term.
Step 2
For those owners who do not plan to use the dog for breeding, the easiest way would be to solve the problem once and for all - to spay the bitch. The arguments that a dog needs to give birth at least once "for health", or the belief that this will deprive the dog of "female happiness" is nothing more than a myth. In fact, spayed animals do great and live longer.
Step 3
You can prevent estrus with the veterinary drug "Covinan". The drug inhibits the maturation of ovarian follicles, causes changes in the uterus that prevent fertilization, inhibits the development of estrus, inhibits the secretion of the mammary glands. Covinan is injected subcutaneously. Show dogs are advised to inject the medicine into the groin fold, all others - into the area of the withers. The drug is administered three months after estrus, then four months, and finally five. All subsequent treatments are administered every five months. If you want to breed your dog, just stop using Covinan and he will start estrus on time. The required volume of the drug depends on the weight of the animal.
Step 4
Another veterinary drug that can stop estrus is Depo-promon. The animal is injected with one milliliter between estrus. The injections should be repeated every six months.
