Diagnostic Tests

The Veterinary Laboratories in full accordance with the most advanced, reliable and qualified laboratory tests that are carried out in their facilities with accredited laboratory equipment and reagents, propose the following diagnostic tests as well as trials during the administration of drugs.

 

CAT

 

OVER TEMPERATURE EXAMINATION IN A NON-CLINICAL PERIOD OF CESTRUS

  • Serum estradiol

It can be used as an initial approach as long as it is noted that increased concentrations are observed only during the pre-menstrual period and at the beginning of the cestrus.

  • Dynamic progesterone stimulation test

It is a reference test

Protocol

  • Collection of sample between day 1 ης and day 3ης from the onset of behavioral cestrus.
  • Inject 500 IU hCG ( Chorulon, Intervet) i.m.
  • Collection of a second sample 7 to 14 days later
  • Type of test: Progesterone X 2
  • Serum is required

 

OVER TEMPERATURE EXAMINATION IN A NON-CLINICAL PERIOD OF CESTRUS

Dynamic estradiol stimulation test

It is a reference test

Protocol

  • Collection of the first sample
  • Administration of 2 μg / kg Buserelin / synthetic GnRH (Receptal, Intervet SP) i.m. ή 44 iu/kg hCG i.m.
  • Collection of a second sample 2 hours later
  • Type of test: Estradiol × 2
  • Serum is required

 

DOG

 

OVER TEMPERATURE EXAMINATION IN A NON-CLINICAL PERIOD OF CESTRUS

  • Serum progesterone

Can be used as an initial approach. In some cases with clinical signs of cestrus, elevated concentrations are observed.

  • Serum estradiol

It can be used as an initial approach as long as it is noted that an increase in its levels occurs only during the pre-menstrual period and at the beginning of the cestrus. Estradiol measurement is also used to approximate Sertolioma cases in male dogs.

  • Dynamic test of Estradiol before and after administrationhCG

It is a reference test

OVER TEMPERATURE EXAMINATION IN A NON-CLINICAL PERIOD OF CESTRUS

Dynamic test of Estradiol before and after administration hCG

It is a reference test

Protocol

  • Collection of sample in spite of clinical signs
  • Administration of 2 μg / kg synthetic GnRH (Receptal, Intervet SP) i.m. ή 44 iu/kg hCG i.m.
  • Collection of a second sample 2 hours later
  • Type of test: Estradiol × 2
  • Serum is required

 

CRYPTORCHIDISM/non-descending testicle DOG& CAT 

Dynamic Testosterone Stimulation Test

  • Collection of sample in spite of clinical signs
  • Administration of 2 μg / kg synthetic GnRH (Receptal, Intervet SP) i.m. ή 44 iu/kg hCG i.m.
  • Collection of a second sample 1-2 hours later
  • Type of test: Testosterone × 2
  • Serum is required

 

CAUTION We kindly request to label the samples according to the time of collection. The laboratory upon request is giving the appropriate information after the export of results
