SANCHEZ R, Alfonso. Luteal Insufficiency in a Bitch: A Case Description. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.3, pp.537-542. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v26i3.11180.

The present report describes and discuss the case of a French bulldog bitch, 2 years and 3 months old with a gestation of about 37 days and vaginal bleeding for nearly 12 days. Infection by B. canis was discarded by serological examination. Determination of serum progesterone through commercial kit showed a low value (2.5-5 ng/ml) so supportive therapy was instituted by micronized progesterone (100 mg/day) until the cessation of vaginal bleeding and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone value at this point showed higher values (>5 ng/ml). After day 42 of gestation, hormone supplementation was modified to 100 mg every 48 hours and stopped on day 58 of pregnancy. The female gave birth to a live puppy and other three were removed by cesarean section (two alive and one dead)

Palabras clave : luteal insufficiency; progesterone; bitch.
