Had a interracial mishap yesterday. Have any of you guys used the morning after shots on your dogs?

I am a vet.
There is a morning after shot. It is an estrogen injection. Will only work if given within 48 hours of breeding. 98% effective
Couple of issues to consider:
1) It will put the female back in the first stages of heat, so even though she has been in heat for 7-10 days, you will have to keep her locked up for another 3 weeks after the shot.
2) 1 in 100 dogs can develop a uterus infection and 95% of those will have to be spayed to get rid of the infection
3) 1 in 1000 dogs can develop a serious bone marrow suppression. I have never seen this in 30 years of practice.
4) It is not recommended if this is a females first heat or it may affect future fertility.
Lastly, if you plan on spaying her anyway, just let her go out of heat and then get her spayed.
