28
Q

What are the indications for inducing ovulation?

A

behavioral modification and artifical insemination

29
Q

How can ovulation be induced in the queen?

A

with physical methods or hormonal methods

30
Q

What physical methods could induce ovulation in the queen?

A

Mating with a vasectomized tom or inserting a sterile swab or gas rod into the vagina (must be repeated multiple times)

31
Q

What hormonal methods can be used to induce ovulation in the queen?

A

hCG and GnRH

32
Q

What are the indications for suppressing estrus?

A

Pets or working dogs

A

Ovariectomy and/or ovariohysterectomy

34
Q

What are the non-surgical options to suppress estrus?

A

Mibolerone (androgen), Megestrol acetate (progestogen), or Deslorelin acetate (GnRH agonist)

35
Q

When is suppression of estrus not recommended?

A 
Prior to or during the first estrus
For females primarily used for breeding
During pregnancy
During pseudopregnancy
To begin treatment during diestrus
For females with uterine hemorrhage
For diabetic patients
For females with a prolonged heat
36
Q

What are the adverse effects to suppressing estrus?

A

Obesity, diabetes mellitus, and neoplasia of the uterus and/or mammary glands

38
Q

If you want to suppress estrus using Mibolerone, when should treatment begin?

A

At least 30 days before the onset of estrus

39
Q

What species is Mibolerone not approved for use in?

A

Queens - hepatotoxicity

42
Q

If you want to Megestrol acetate to suppress the cycle, when should it be given? When will subsequent estrus happen?

A

Should be given in late anestrus

Subsequent estrus is seen 2-9 months later

43
Q

How can Deslorelin be given to suppress estrus?

A

Vaginal bleeding, anorexia, panting, and PU/PD

56
Q

Once abortion is confirmed, what must you do to the doses of dexamethasome?

A

taper the dose

57
Q

What agent can be used to terminate late term pregnancy (>40 days)?

A

Cabergoline

Is cabergoline better tolerated in dogs or cats?

A

cats

60
Q

What combination protocol for pregnancy termination is effective after 25 days of gestation?

A

Cabergoline, cloprostenol, +/- misoprostol
