The American Beagler Forum

lets hear everyones opinion that has used the abortion shot ..
I have used it on 4 different dogs in my 25 yrs of beagling and havent had either 4 that had side effects or problems with heat cycle afterwards.
My vet said they are safe. So those who have experience with this ,lets hear your facts.
thanks Dave

used it on a coon hound --she came in just before world hunt --it screwed her up for over [[2]] yrs. mind and her female side ---maybe they have something better now this was 4yrs. ago

Used it for a beagle who was about 1 yr old last month..no side effects so far. She continued to run like before with no problems. Don't know yet if her cycle will change/or problems until she's due again, but our vet said there shouldn't be any problems.

I have only used it once a beagle got hooked with a boxer
my beagle didnt come in heat for a year and a half but that was the only side effect i saw,before that she was a twice a year cycler

I was wondering how far along can you still give her the shot, to abort the litter? In case I need to have it done sometime.

im not sure but i think within 24 hrs. after the tie.

The quicker the better, I had a bird dog get hooked with the neighbers dog and didn't find out about it for 2 weeks, the dumba-- didn't tell me he had seen the tie take place until then go figure she was only 8 months old so I took her to the vet and he gave her the shot he said it may take it may not but she did have one live pup and 6 that weren't formed so I'm not sure if it was from the shot or if it was just gods way.
