Can it be used inside the bitch to help things along if needed?

yep its perfectly safe but i prefer this: http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Obstetric-Gel-500ml/productinfo/OBS9006362/... its a lot more slippery

Yes agree with Tanya Obstetric Gel its also far cheaper.

Have just looked at that, thank you!

Another quick question at what stage is this used? Or only if needed?

as and when needed.... you cannot "overdose" on it.... will do no harm, just may leave your floor a bit slippery if she gets out whelping box lol

I have always got the hyperdrug one in stock.  But I only use it when a pup is stuck.  Sometimes, with feet first pups, and the head still inside, it helps them out easier with the next contraction.

Picked a tube of KY up in the pound shop, was 4.00 in boots i think, it pays to look in there first :-)

bargain!!!

The proper obstetric gel is much slidier.  Pups come out more easily.  And it's a huge bottle for £3, so it's no dearer than your pound shop buy.

If i have another litter at any point i will get some, she is due any day now! Thanks :-D

It's £3 then £4.30 postage......so not that cheap really

i think if you are getting alot of stuff at the same time then it works out good , £4.30 is a lot of money for postage on 1 thing !!

Obstetric Gel is 550ml    KY is 50ml, even with postage Obstetric Gel is cheaper.
