Incidentally if the cat has been mated "accidentally" another use of Ovarid - for which you need a whole one - is to prevent conception taking place.

Nice tip - thankyou liz!

Re: Breeding - How many times per year??

That's easy, you use Ovarid. Believe me, with Burmese, you'll need to!
Yeah becareful Saffron with this stuff-some people swear by it and others have had horrible problems-so research and make your own assumptions Not all vets recommend it and in fact won't use it as the probs are too horrid-imo this stuff is far from safe and personally i would never use it

Yes thanks kelly - a few breeders have told me about Ovarid. I will wait and see what happens. One breeder says she only uses ¼ of a tablet each time. You're right tho, i will do my usual research!

Re: Breeding - How many times per year??

It's very contraversal as some people say it's fab but it can knock a girl off permanently,cause bad defects in kitts and a whole load of other not good stuff-their are a few alternatives which are safer that can be used

Sorry but i think it depends on the breed of cat and health etc, If you have a girl who's calling every say 10 days do you knock her off all year round? Some girls come into call earlier and (ours) are very regular, if you wanted to keep her off call then neuter or mate Because though you can safely knock them off for a while you can't do it indefinitely as you'd have a confused and possibly bad tempered girl and so on and so on..

Not used it just read some bad things. Having said that I'd have to see what situation I was in and think of the options I had, it may well be the last resort.
