Q

If you detect EED past day 38 in mare, when would you expect her to come back into heat?

Q

What are some ways we can manipulated the mare to breed earlier?

A

Increase day length/light
Start in November-December (before winter solstice on Dec 21st)
Increases chances of earlier fertile ovulation

Exhaustion of uterus after prolonged contractions
44
When does eclampsia most commonly occur?
2 weeks post partum

When does canine metritis usually occur?
7 days post partum
47
What is consistent with canine metritis on vaginal cytology?
Degenerative neutrophils
48
Normal post partum vaginal hemorrhage can last how long in the bitch?
6 weeks
49
Which acute phase proteins that increase due to embryonic trophoblastic cell invasion of the endometrium?
C reactive protein | Fibrinogen
50
At what part of gestation does relaxin begin to rise
20-30 days

What does PGF2alpha treat in mare?
Post mating induced endometritis Endometrosis Pyometra Not a treatment for metritis!
