SANCHEZ RIQUELME, Alfonso  e  ARIAS RUIZ, Francisco. Gestation termination in breeding bitches by cloprostenol: case report. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.4, pp.1556-1561. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v29i4.15133.

This paper describes the use of an abbreviated protocol for the interruption of gestation in bitches by subcutaneous administration of cloprostenol in 4 doses of 1 µg/kg every 12 hours and 4 doses of 2 µg/kg every 12 hours. The bitches were from 2 to 5 years old, with gestations between 25 and 30 days. The diagnosis of gestation, the estimation of gestational age and the confirmation of the interruption of gestation were carried out through sonographic examinations. The pregnancy interruption was observed as reabsorption after the sixth administration in five females with gestations between 25 and 27 days, and as an abortion in the other five females with gestations between 28 and 30 days after the seventh administration of cloprostenol. In all cases, the presence of temporary side effects such as salivation, panting and vomiting was observed. It was concluded that the treatment was effective and safe.
