Should Oxytocin be given to a dog for labour pain?

In: Dogs (Canines), Dog Health, Aspirin [Edit categories]

Answer:

ONLY a Veterinarian should give oxytocin to your dog in labor. If you are doing it yourself, you could literally blow out the uterus so do NOT do it yourself, only with your Veterinarian. It is not for labor pain but to induce contractions of the uterus.
