Professional dog breeders only please.?

No haters or negative comments please.

Anyone on this forum have experience with b itch resorbing litter? I'm currently doing the progesterone oil injections, but my girl looks to still be deflating. Anyone have experience with this, and did you discontinue treatment or hang on to the end? The last time I did this, I did have a successful litter although a small litter. Your experience?

    My own breeder had this problem after breeding a Champion multi-titled female dog, once with a 6 puppy litter. I am sorry to say I did not follow what she did to try and get a second litter but she has several breedings after that first one with two different studs, that did not take ...or were reabsorbed. so I cannot offer you advice except to follow the advice of your vet.... IF your vet feels that low progesterone is the most likely culprit.

    There ARE other causes of reabsorption (as you know) like an e coli infection, canine herpervirus, brucellosis, low thyroid, etc, even diet. One of the most successful Weimaraner breeders I knew automatically put her dogs on a course of antibiotics before being bred and she fed a tablespoon of RAW beef liver to the female dog from week 4 onward. A diet higher in protein than carbs is touched on in this article on reabsorption in Mastiffs:

    The only other thing to consider is whether you have the option of consulting a holistic vet (esp one able to do acupuncture) to see if they have any other, or more helpful advice.

    In some women who cannot conceive, or cannot maintain a pregnancy after conception - they seem to actually have an "allergy" to their husband's sperm. I knew somebody who had this diagnosis. Calming the immune system or lessening the body's reaction to the "invasion" of the new material or a growing fetus has been shown to be helpful.

    And to this end (sort of) I did have one dog terribly allergic to another - (according to my holistic vet) after I clipped some oat & bought it in to her. The allergy was to the point of VIOLENCE and once we desensititized him, he never had another problem, with said dog again.

    (You should have seen said dog, when she held up the coat clipping against him) - you would have thought you were watching a vampire about to be touched with a cross.... or holy water. The dog snorted & bucked. I believe it is another possibility for why things can go wrong & cause reabsorption - (aside from the above, more likely reasons).

    I'd be asking my Vet and breeding coach, and I wouldn't be putting my "girl" through this ordeal.

    But then that's me, of course. I also disagree with your statements that blacks commit more crimes than whites, but, then again, I don't like racist comments either. Another topic.

    Nobody on here will help.

    You shouldn't be breeding a ***** who has had issues in the past.

    You should be doing all of this under a vet's instruction. Contact them for help, not the internet.

    Why would you keep breeding from a *****/bloodline that has such reproduction issues?
