For any of the off label uses of Aglepristone (Alizin) please call Virbac's tech services on 01359 243 243

As mentioned above this includes the feline off label uses - misalliance, fibroadenomatous mammary hyperplasia and pyometra.

I spoke to the manufacturers but they didnt have any specific advice. I haven't seen the cat again since my original post. Am seeing her again in about 1 week. will keep you posted!

A colleague of mine used delvosteron on her breeding cat and the kitty ended up with severe mammary hyperplasia which responded really well to Alizin. It might help along with antibiotics.

All the best. How has it progressed?

made a smear for wbc/ bacteria? may be epithelial if hyperplasia. If is pyo, then prostaglandins may be required - do very well. The AHT has a sheet on doses.

I have always been of the opinion that delvosterone increases the risk of pyometra. Worth talking to the manufacturers to get their opinion on it.

In bitches we use alizin to open the cervix and with antibiotics things may settle. There is no licence for alizin in cats and as there is a vaginal discharge it may not be necessary again may be worth ringing Virbac. They are usually very knowledgeable about reproductive medicine.

Otherwise swab, sensitivity and antibiotics assuming the discharge is uterine rather than vaginal??
