Rebanne Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 To go into labour they have to drop to under 2 (pretty sure it's 2) so less then that I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofhearts Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 So confused right now. I thought my girl was in season and had her Prog tested. She tested at 1 and then four days later tested again at 1. After this she seemed to have ceased any signs of being in season so I stopped Prog testing her. Fast forward 4 weeks and she has definitely increased in size . She has always run with my stud dog so now I am wondering if she is indeed expecting. I definitely did not see a mating. Hence my question re Prog levels when not in season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofhearts Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 After the 2 nd Prog test , the vet assured me that with a level of 1 that she was definitely in season but I was sceptical after ceasing of other signs .Thats why I was asking what the prog levels of a bitch not in season would be .

Rebanne Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I suppose you could just wait it out or, what I would do because i couldn't wait, is take her in for an ultrasound 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Not sure of date/year of this post, have not been on here for over a year however I can say that the tests are not always accurate. Last year had a girl on heat. Older experienced stud dog knew & was going crazy to get to her. Younger inexperienced dog could not get his act together & mate her. He tried but was hopeless so off to the vet for some help or AI. They tested her & said she was not ready according to their progesterone test. I knew she was, so helpful & eager for mr cant do it. When I got home I put them both straight in the back garden & said go piddles. Put the car in garage, took crate in & looked out the kitchen window to see them tied. She had 4 puppies.
