I know other dog owners who have had Beransa given to their dogs. They haven't had any side effects. What did your Vet say?

Why was the injection painful? Ring your Vet tell them what is happening with your dog.

I've had a pup with an undescended testicle. There were 3 males in the litter all with undescended testicles. Probably hereditary. On Vet's advice I had the dog neutered. 2nd disaster was a pup with Renal Dysplasia. Also probably hereditary. I still have this dog 7 years on. 3rd disaster was from a breeder I had known for 20 years or more. Never had a pup from them before. The breeder is well known for healthy and good temperament dogs. I have seen them in the show ring many times. Not withstanding this last dog is a nightmare. I have spent a lot of money on professional training etc. This dog (all the same breed) is the 10th I have owned and is completely different to all of my other dogs. I have put it down to one of the parents being an imported dog. This is the first litter from the imported dog. I paid full price for all of the above and just worked around the health & temperament problems. The last dog is still a pup and is still a work in progress. So out of 10 dogs over 30 or so years I have had health problems with 2 dogs and a temperament problem with one dog. Pretty usual dog owner experience I would say.

Even with the best of research and information good and reliable breeders can get undesirable traits in a litter. Even with the best of intentions you can get bad or undesirable temperaments in a litter. Especially purchasing dogs from overseas or using imported semen.
