Today’s question is about resorption of pregnancies and the advisability of using antibiotics to prevent future resorptions:

"We had a girl who was pregnant with at least 1 puppy at 28 day ultrasound and 0 puppies on x-ray at 50 days...I'm curious what other people would check with the girl who absorbed before breeding again."

  • How the vaginal microbiome affects fertility and prevents disease
  • The most recent studies on the prophylactic use of antibiotics in breeding bitches
