Abstract

This paper describes the therapeutic response to dihydroergotoxin when administered to 16 bitches afected by pseudopregnancy to 4 bitches and 5 she-cats in which lactation had to be arrested and 2 bitches aflected by galactorrhea.

This ergot alcaloides derivate was effective and syntoms retroceded when administered orally at 0,2 mg/k daily during 72 hours followed by 0,1 mg/k daily during 96 hours.

The behaviour changes of pseudopregnancy retroded about four days while galactorrhea retroceded about six days and lactation was stopped about five days after beginning of tratement.

50% of animal treated kept on presenting a slight mamarian serous secretion after  the sixth day of treatment.
