What Galastop Oral Solution for Dogs Is For

Galastop oral solution for dogs is used to treat false pregnancy (pseudopregnancy) in bitches. This condition can happen a few weeks after a season, even when the dog is not actually pregnant.

Typical signs include:

• Enlarged mammary glands

• Milk production

• Nesting behaviour

• Restlessness or clinginess

• Carrying toys as if they were puppies

Galastop oral solution for dogs helps reduce these signs by lowering the hormone signals that drive milk production and maternal behaviour.

Key Benefits of Galastop Oral Solution for Dogs

✔ POM-V cabergoline oral solution for bitches with false pregnancy
✔ Helps reduce milk production and mammary enlargement
✔ Can ease nesting, agitation and other related behaviours
✔ Useful when drying off bitches after weaning, as advised by your vet
✔ Available in 7ml and 15ml bottles for different treatment courses

When used correctly, Galastop oral solution for dogs can make this phase more comfortable for both dog and owner.

How Galastop Oral Solution for Dogs Works

Galastop oral solution for dogs contains cabergoline. Cabergoline reduces the hormone prolactin. Prolactin helps maintain milk production and maternal behaviour.

By lowering prolactin levels, Galastop oral solution for dogs:

• Reduces or stops milk production

• Helps mammary glands return to normal

• Supports a gradual improvement in false pregnancy behaviours

This process can take several days. Your vet will set the dose and length of the course so that the treatment is safe and effective.

When Vets May Prescribe Galastop Oral Solution for Dogs

Your vet may prescribe Galastop oral solution for dogs when:

• Your bitch shows clear signs of false pregnancy

• Milk production or mammary enlargement is causing discomfort

• Behaviour changes linked to false pregnancy are distressing

• Help is needed to dry off milk production after weaning puppies

First, your vet will examine your dog. They may also discuss her season history to confirm that false pregnancy is the most likely problem. If there is any doubt, they may recommend further tests.

How to Give Galastop Oral Solution for Dogs

Always follow your vet’s instructions and the product label. As a general guide:

• Shake the bottle if the label advises

• Use the supplied dropper or syringe to measure the exact dose

• Give the dose directly into the side of the mouth or on a small amount of food, as your vet prefers

• Give Galastop oral solution for dogs at the same time each day if possible

Your vet will tell you:

• How many ml per kg to give

• How many days the course should last

• Whether the dose needs to be adjusted during treatment

Do not change the dose or stop the course early without speaking to your vet. If you miss a dose or if your dog spits some out, contact your vet for advice before giving more.

Monitoring Your Dog During Treatment

While your dog is receiving Galastop oral solution for dogs, it helps to:

• Check the mammary glands each day for size, heat or pain

• Watch for licking, scratching or chewing at the glands

• Note any changes in behaviour, such as reduced nesting or restlessness

You should contact your vet if you notice:

• The glands becoming hot, very firm or painful

• Any discharge that looks bloody or infected

• Your dog becoming unwell, dull or off her food

These signs may suggest mastitis or another problem that needs prompt veterinary attention.

Aftercare and General Management

Galastop oral solution for dogs works best alongside sensible home management. For example:

• Discourage licking or stimulation of the mammary glands

• Remove toys that your dog is guarding as “puppies” if safe to do so

• Provide calm, gentle exercise and a settled routine

• Follow any feeding advice from your vet, especially if drying off milk

Your vet may also discuss future breeding plans and long-term options, such as neutering, to reduce recurrence.
