Question
How much oxytocin should you give as a clean out shot?? My two vets differ on the amount. I breed small dogs. Thanks for your time!

Answer
I talked to a small dog breeder, and they only use .25 IU of oxytocin as a clean out shot. Smaller amounts may be all it takes. I honestly wasn't sure about this, so I tried my best to research this and ask around. My best advice would be to listen to the vet you respect the most, or ask a few more vets just to make sure.
