Our dalmatian got pregnant last Sept and the pups were aborted with an injection and tablets by the vet. A friend said that the injection is then like a contraception for a year after is this true?

What is wrong with you? Why would you even consider doing that to your pet?

Go talk to your vet; s/he will know better than random people on an advice board.

Yeah thanks you were LOADS of help. There's nothing wrong with me at all I'm just asking a question, that's the nature of this website if you hadn't noticed!

I haven't done anything wrong to my pet!

No, there's nothing wrong with killing her puppies just because you never took her to get spayed.

As for the help, you haven't even indicated what type of medication the vet gave the dog to begin with. How can people answer a question without any information?

Firsty there is nothing wrong with what you did it's hard on a do being regnant especially if the owner dosen't no what to do and you don't know the farther of the litter there are so many un wanted dog and so many people out there who abuse animals don't ever think there is something wrong with what you've done! Don't breed her until she's had another season this will clear her out fully on the second season after the injection you may get her pregnant again this time planned feed her on a puppy diet and look after her really well you'll have a beautiful litter. As for those that think the inject works like this on dogs this is an injection that aborts pups not stops the mum getting pregnant. If your pet was under 2 yrs old when you did this she should be thanking you you should not breed until the dog is 2 yrs old and full mature mentally and physically.

That is completely untrue; dogs have been having puppies for thousands of years without people assisting them. Animals have a natural instinct in them; they don't need to go to a hospital to have their babies.

Here's where you're right AND wrong. While there ARE tons of unwanted dogs, she should have gotten her dog spayed if she didn't want her having puppies. That's not fair to the animal; they know when they are pregnant. It's not right to inject them with chemicals just because it's an inconvenience to the human.

Thank you rebeltequila, she is not 2 until August and we did not want her to have pups until she was over this age. She was not spayed because of this reason this8384! If you ever had a dalmatian puppy you would know you cannot keep them chained up or inside all the time, they are very hyper. She had the abortion injection what more information do u need!! U are responding to the wrong quesrions!

Thanks again rebeltequila for your useful answer

1. Yes, I have; that's why she should have gotten the dog spayed to begin with. But she's not; she's going to breed it, as she very clearly indicated, which is going to only further the problem which you pointed out.

2. The disagree is to be used when someone posts something factually wrong; notice how I'm not hitting everyone else with one just because I don't agree with them. Please learn what the system is for before using it.

this8384 have you ever thought about what effects a dog going full term can suffer especially under the age of 2! You can damage your dog greatly breeding it to early you litters will never be the best you can produce the mum will be under more strain you can half your dogs life breeding it to early yes she could have had it speyed but again if you want your dog to fully mature and grow to it's full poteintial the added hormones from heats can help yes I agree this kind owner should have been more prepared she's had the dog through it's first heat and should no what comes however I think she has made a wise descion that will benefit the dog I trained as a vet nurse and understand the risks and medication that is used it's not a contrceptive it works to abort the pregnancy. I agree in some cases where owners let there pet carry up to the last week of pregnancy then abort that they are not helping there dogs and are truly killing pups un neccessayily however going to the vet and aborting before the dog is heavy into pregnancy is in some cases benifical to the dogs well being.
