- Description
- Measurement of progesterone concentrations is most commonly used in dogs to estimate when the LH surge has occurred when ovulation will take place, and hence the optimum time for breeding or artificial insemination. Progesterone concentrations can also be used to diagnose ovarian remnants in dogs and cats and to monitor pyometra treatment.
