My Girl Is Getting An Alizin Inj Tonight

[nellybly10]

I came home the other day to find out my bitch on heat had dug her way out under the decking, and was found wandering the street outside our house. Not wanting to take any chances I am taking her to the vet tonight and tomorrow night for an injection of Alizin, the drug to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

I am a little nervous as I have never had to do this before, and am not sure what the results will be, if there will be any side effects, but I have done a few searches on DOL and most people say good things about it. The only thing I couldnt find is the price - can anyone comment?

I will post up any side effects that I notice over the coming week or so, but hopefully all goes well

I have used it once and it cost me about $160.

Each dog is different.. but I think in most cases there is not a lot of side effects. You may find that your bitch may come into season straight away or an early next season, or may have a longer season. You may find that she may not fall pregnant on her next season.

Does the injection effect growth/maturity? ;)

That would be a side effect i would be concerned about.

Ok she had her first injection last night, and it is $87 each (total of $174)

The vet said the injection can be painful but she seemed to take it ok, with no tenderness after. She is going back tonight for the second one.

We are hoping to be able to mate her on the next season, and have heard mixed feedback as to whether this will be possible or not, I guess we have to wait and see. I will let you all know if she comes in early as this is apparently another possible side effect.
