  • Title: Shortening of interestrous intervals with cabergoline in bitches: a clinical trial.
    Author: Gobello C, Castex G, Dela sota L, Corrada Y.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2004; 40(2):115-9. PubMed ID: 15007046.
    Abstract:
    Two consecutive interestrous intervals (n=46) were recorded in 23 bitches of different breeds. At varying times after day 100 from the onset of the second proestrus, cabergoline (5 microg/kg per os q 24 hours) was administered from early (n=11), mid- (n=10), and late (n=2) anestrus until 2 days after the beginning of the following proestrus. Interestrous intervals (IEI) were significantly shorter in the cabergoline-treated time periods when compared to the nontreated IEI (184+/-4.5 days versus 239+/-4.5 days; P<0.01). The mean number of days of cabergoline treatment until the onset of proestrus was 21.4+/-2.9 (least square means and standard error of the mean [LSM+/-SEM]). Mean cabergoline treatment durations beginning in early, mid-, and late anestrus were 27.4+/-3.7, 17.6+/-3.8, and 5+/-3 days (LSM+/-SEM), respectively. A significant correlation was found between the stage of anestrus in which the treatments began and the duration of the treatments required to induce estrus (0.51, P=0.01).
