stopping bitches season

[elma-fudd 0]

any you folks out there had your bitch injected to stop them coming into season as i dont want my girls getting the bobby,there both 8 months at the moment but dont want my other dog who would shag a barbers floor getting at them or any other dog for that matter.

i think there is mate but it's like some of the other injections you get... they dont work all the time and some bitches act funny with them!!! theres a spray you can get to spray around her rear!! i used it with a terrier bitch and i found that it helped stop driving the dogs mad... my dogs turn queer if they cant get at the bitch...

the trouble is mate you never know when that first season will come. my bitch tara 3/4 whip/grey 1/4 kelpie hasn't had one yet and she is 18 month old.

 

and Visa my older dog didn't have her first till she was 2 years old

The one most of the greyhound lads use is Laura Bollin it's given as a jag

every 4 weeks.I personally would always let a bitch have her first season.

I agree: don't mess with their hormones for the first season: they need to have that first season to develop properly. After that there is a jab called Delversterone, which is the male hormone: it is less likely to cause problems internally. Having said that any messing with nature has the potential to cause health problems. Can't you just kennel them well away from the dogs when they are in season?

keeping them out the way is not a problem its the male howling the place down for a bit of pu-nanny.

My lurcher bitch is now 19 month and hasn't had a season yet. I have heard bad things about having injections to stop seasons, so I suppose the only answer is to have a bitch spayed or keep bitches only !

Cheers.

You can get a little bottle of Durateston a lot of the Greyhound lads I know use it.You jab them every four weeks with it to stop them coming in.There is also another stuff you can get that you can jab them with when they do come into season and it will bring them straight out,but I dont know what its called.I just let my lurchers have there seasons as normal as like other people have posted it can mess there hormones up.As long as your runs are secure and you keeep a close eye on them when you have them out you will be ok.

i agree totally with that... messing with nature is never usually a good thing no matter how old the dog is.... a lurcher fella i know used somethin like that, i cant remember if it was to abort or to stop her comin in heat but anyway from that time on she would only come into season kinda half way!!!! the dogs in his yard still howled and made a nuisance... your best keepin her out of the way and killing her smell with bitch spray a couple of times a day...

We had a greyhound bitch injected years ago to stop her season it was unbelievable, she lost that much form was really down and depressed and took nearly 2 years to get back to normal, i"d never have one jabbed again, just let her have a season, then get her spayed.

[Guest Dale]

 

How do you know she's missed a season ? Some bitches are yearly.

 

well every bitch ive owned as had 2 a year so i just asumed , * my bad* apart from my whippet x which as the 1 a year .

What did you have her jagged with Paula?

Years ago I had a greyhound bitch injected at the vets with a season suppresant that

lasted 5 months,never again she lost 5 lengths and that was just over the sprint trip

Here's a first for you then brock,all the greyhound bitches i've had on Laura Bollin have kept

their form,never had a problem with dogs running below par on Laura Bollin .

yeah it is a first tote,but if my greyhounds become top quality i wont risk ruinning them with a jab.
