A Possible Correlation Between Diet, Serum Oxytetracycline Concentration and Onset of Reproductive Disorders in Bitches: Clinical Observations and Preliminary Results
Based on the increase in eating disorders observed in dogs and cats and our recent findings on the toxicity of oxytetracycline (OTC) present in their diets, we hypothesized that the alteration in reproductive functions often found in bitches could be due to a state of chronic inflammation caused by the presence of this antibiotic inside their body. In this regard, we compared the effectiveness of the FEMALE REPRODUCTION diet with a similar diet available on the market for a period of 90 days on 36 bitches that presented reproductive problems such as prolonged anestrus, primary anestrus, silent or irregular estrus and few litters.
