Canine Estrous Cycle (Veterinary Technician Education)

[@rosegroshek1218]

I'm in vet tech school right now and your videos are saving my life! Thank you!!

[@katbryant8414]

You are by far my favorite RVT. Your videos are so informative and your voice is calming and easy to understand.

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

And this is by far the nicest feedback :) thanks for watching

[@faithcyrus6939]

God bless this woman!

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

These powerpoints were initially provided to me by a fellow RVT. Over the years of teaching the course, I have built on the presentation content and the theoretical components of the presentation.

[@clifclivanz6526]

Burnsie's RVT Vids id like your presentation..

You are the best. Thanks for another great video!

[@justfridaycooking8474]

This girl’s voice is absolutely beautiful... I can’t focus😅

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

Well I'm glad it's enjoyed. Otherwise this would be very awkward with all these videos that I've made...

Love your videos

Can you tell me any good literature on the topic of oestrous cycles in dogs? Things I'd like to know more about are silent heats, prolonged heats, absent heats or split heats. Also about Irregular cycles or dogs with regular cycles with a longer Anoestrous period. (e.g Dogs with one heat per year, dogs with heats every 8 months)

I recently learned that it was very bad to spay/neuter early; as suggested and required by far too many in the United States. Early neutering ruined my Rhodesian Ridgeback; and probably contributed to the development of cancers and earlier deaths, in a few of my dogs. I apologized to my Olde English Bulldogge, for destroying her Endocrine system and setting the stage for incontinence, hip dysplasia, and cancers related to hormone deficiency, down the road. Do not let anyone coerce you, or lie to you about the benefits of early desexing. Don't let a few months of inconvenience, convince you to deprive your dogs of vital hormones; necessary for their proper, full physical development and health. Wait until your dogs reach PHYSICAL MATURITY, not sexual maturity, before spaying or neutering; if at all.

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

This is an interesting topic and one that is multifaceted. Current studies show that yes, there are concerns with an association between early neutering/spaying and joint disease. As well as son cancers. However, the same study also indicates an increase prevalence of other cancers when animals are neutered late. Likewise, some joint disorders are also more common in intact female and male dogs (CCL injuries). For me, its risks versus benefits, combined with population control and quality of life for that pet. Above all, one of my biggest concerns is reduction of population of dogs and cats. There are far too many of them ending up homeless and in shelters. If everyone were entirely responsible pet owners who prevented pregnancies, life would be grand. But unfortunately, our society doesn't work this way and spaying and neutering tends to prevent many problems for animals while also causing some.

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

Here's a good study that can explain the risks of early neutering, late neutering, and intact dogs. Specific to golden retrievers, though. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3572183/

[@sereinalkhatatbeh1458]

very informative!

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

Thank you

[@gabriellepagana9038]

in the beginning you say that in humans the link describes the estrous cycle, this is incorrect. Humans have a menstrual cycle, which is very different than the estrous cycle in most mammals.

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

You are correct. Our hormonal peaks and let down times are very different, and the effects on our systems are significantly different as well.

[@maddman4747]

YEA, I KNOW ALL THIS.. WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS AT WHAT AGE DOES THIS START IN GENERAL. IN ORDER TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO IT.. SIX MONTHS OLD, SEVEN MONTHS, ETC, ETC.. I KNOW ITS COMING, JUS WANT TO BE MORE AWARE WHEN ITS CLOSE IN MY PUPPY.. WHO IS IN FACT A BUFFALO, AS SHE IS A GREAT PYRENEES AT 6 1/2 MONTHS.. THANX ...

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

Typically 6 months is the average, though it can be earlier or later. I also had a pyrenees :) If you're watching so that you can spay her, be sure to chat with your vet to help you make the decision regarding the timing.

[@maddman4747]

@@BurnsiesRVTVids THANX, VERY HELPFUL..

[@ronancabillo6197]

Can flagging be a sign of LH surge?

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

I don't know the answer to that one. For me, the most reliable method is checking hormonal levels in their blood.

[@carolcriscuolo2099]

very good learning tool

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@WillyGar25TV]

Can they get pregnant during proestrus?

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

Ahh what a good question. Technically, yes. Because it's such a gentle shift between stages, some dogs may be at the tail end of proestrus when estrus symptoms (such as hormonal increases and the opening of the cervix) may start

[@WillyGar25TV]

Thank you for answering. Some vets said it wont happen. Im confused

[@Suryansh5659]

During proestrus the bitch doesn't accept male....so there is no chance of getting pregnant by natural mating but if you carry out AI during the last stages of proestrus.... there are chances of bitch getting pregnant....but for 100% results inseminate the bitch on 2nd or 3rd day of estrus......

[@NINOHERNANDEZ361]

Can you send me your email so I can show you some cytology slides I have questions on

[@BurnsiesRVTVids]

I'm sorry but I'm not a cytologist, so I can't comment on cases. There are lots of great facebook pages for cytology, though!

spelling and pronunciation is wrong
