Sorry
for bringing up a dead issue but I just wanted to get things correct. Again, Long Ears, this has absolutly nothing to do with you or JiM, Just wanted to share this.
The Veterinarians Oath
"Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, and conservation of livestock resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.
I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics.
I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence."
Nowhere does it say, "will do no harm" or "will do no harm to only my patients."
Just wanted to clear up that misunderstanding. And Ray, I did some more research and talked with fellow doctors about this shot and as with all medication there are some risks involved. Most side effects would be infections in the uterus and vaginal canal which may involve having to spay the bitch. In some rare cases, death has resulted from the use of this shot, as death can occur with any drug (or bad dog food) on any animal or human. None the less, I agree that the bitch deliver the pups and give them away as pets.
Katdog!
