Intrauterine device for contraception in dogs.
A new intrauterine device for contraception was tested on nine bitches. After it had been implanted, the bitches were mated but none of them became pregnant. Over a two-year period no side effects were observed, except in a bulldog bitch in which signs of oestrus persisted until the device had been removed.
