Özet

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Thuja occidentalis and Urtica urens in pseudopregnant bitches. Clinically pseudopregnant bitches (n=38) were assigned per random to groups as follows: Group I: Thuja occidentalis D30 (8 globules, 3 times a day, per os, n=15); Group II: Urtica urens D6 (8 globules, 3 times a day, per os, n=15); Group III: naloxone (control group, 0.01 mg/kg, twice daily, s.c., n=8). Treatments were continued until clinical signs resolved. Animals were classified as no, mild, moderate, and severe (score -, +, ++, and +++) according to the clinical signs of mammary glands and behavioural signs during the study. Bitches were examined at 3-5 days intervals by means of adspection and palpation until clinical signs resolved.
