MISMATING INJECTION FACTS

WE DO NOT ADVISE MISMATING INJECTIONS!    They are potentially BAD for your pet’s health.

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MISMATING INJECTIONS:

1.   DISADVANTAGES of the Abortion Injections.

            (a)  Dog will stay “in heat” for an extra 7-l0 days.

            (b)  Cystic ovaries sometimes result in continuous or sporatic “heat” cycles.

            (c)  The dog is more prone to develop breast tumors later in life.

            (d)  The dog is more prone to develop UTERINE INFECTIONS later in life.

(e)     The injection is about 80% effective.  20% of the time, the dog may still have a litter of puppies from failure to induce abortion. However the litter usually consists of only a small number of puppies.

2.      DOGS SHOULD ALWAYS BE SPAYED AT A LATER DATE WHEN IT IS NO LONGER DESIRED TO RAISE PUPS AFTER HAVING A MISMATING INJECTION.  This is necessary to prevent potential complications later in life.

3.  Notify the clinic if ANY of the following occur:

            (a)  Weakness or depression.

            (b)  Loss of appetite.

            (c)  Your pet is accidentally bred again during this “heat.”

            (d)  Increased bloody discharge from the vulva.

            (e)  Enlargement of the vulva or protruding tissue from that area.

**We recommend SPAYING your pet instead of giving the mismating injections, due to the possible side-effects of hormone therapy.
