Ovaban is still available. You just have to have a Vet that will work with you. We can no longer get it off the pet pharmacutical's. It has to come from the human market. Which is the same drug.
We don't reccomend any type of drug to postpone the estrus cycle in dogs, because of severe side effects.
Does anyone remember the drug that is similar to Ovaban. It was called Cheque- It was the daily treatment drug. Wow- what problems we encountered with this drug. You have problems with future fertility. Meaning she isn't either fertile or over fertile, causing no pups or too many pups for her body to hold.
Vaginal infections, increased body odor, abnormal behavior, urinary incontinence, riding behavior, oily skin and liver damage may also occur.
Way to many problems for me to put a dog through.
Now Ovaban isn't as risky, but it isn't free and clear. The most common side effects of Ovaban include-
weight gain, changes in hair color, uterine infections, enlargement of the mammary glands (sometimes with milk production) and mammary cancer.
We had several dogs develope Pyometra's from this drug and almost kill them. With extreme care we put the dog's on fluids, flushed the uterus 3x's a day, strong Antibiotics, steroids, etc. an saved them. But you are looking at hundreds of dollars.
If you are going to hunt a female hound, why not have her spayed. She will live longer, No side effects except weight gain if they aren't spayed before 6 months old or first heat cycle and no chance of mammary cancer.
Hope I was of help,
Best of luck and Happy hunting.

No Jeremy this didn't help....If I wanted to know the side effects all I had to do was google it and research it (which I already did)
I wanted to know from other people that have used this or something very similar where I could get some!!
