avoid the use of Alizin until after the end of oestrus and avoid new

In bitches confirmed pregnant, a partial abortion was observed in 5%
of cases in field
trials. A thorough clinical examination is always recommended in order
to confirm that
the uterus content is fully evacuated. Ideally, the examination should
be conducted
using ultrasound. This examination should be performed 10 days after
treatment and
at least 30 days after mating.
In case of partial abortion or no abortion, repeat treatment may be
recommended
10 days after treatment, between day 30 and day 45 after mating.
Surgery should
also be considered.
