| Abstract: | The use of vaginal cytology and plasma progesterone determinations in the management of 11 bitches presented to our small animal fertility clinic are described. Nine bitches were mated or artificially inseminated and seven became pregnant. Reproductive patterns detected included failure of ovulation, prolonged pro-oestrus with late ovulation, short pro-oestrus/oestrus with early ovulation, short pro-oestrus/oestrus with late ovulation and normal pro-oestrus/oestrus with late ovulation. |
