Youl need to milk her out during her 8th and 9th week after her break (ebson salts)will scatter the milk very dangrous running a dog full of milk can get into ther blood stream and they run like a donkey when full of milk after a break greyhound men leave ther bitches of for 3 months after a break.

Most bitches are fine for around a month after their season has finished, but after that, when they would, if they were actually in whelp, lose muscle tone, and their ligaments slacken. Internal fat is also laid down during this time, and even if a bitch doesn't put on obvious weight, she will be carrying fat inside her round her internal organs: not a good idea to strain the heart and lungs during this period.

 

The time to avoid running them is from about a month after the season, until 10-12 weeks after the season. If you imagine that from week 5-6 after the season, a bitch in whelp is producing hormones to grow pups, and they produce the same hormones even if they haven't been mated. Around the 9 week mark after the season they are often producing milk as well, but epsom salts are not a good idea as they do cause dehydration.

 

If the bitch does milk up then it is much safer and just as effective to use Urtica Urens 3c from somewhere like Dorwest Herbs. But a certain degree of mammary swelling is completely normal, and a good way of telling whether or not you should run the bitch. Wait until her tits have shrunk back to nothing before going back to hard work. Keeping them trotting fit by a bike is good during the lay off as it keeps the muscles as toned up as possible whilst the hormones are doing their thing.
