In our practice, we discontinue progesterone supplementation between 9 and 12 weeks of gestation. Available evidence suggests that the most common forms of progesterone supplementation are safe in early pregnancy.
Insulinoma in Dogs. Insulinomas are malignant neoplasms -- fast growing cancer cells -- of the beta cells in the pancreas. The beta cells primarily secrete insulin, among other hormones. Insulin produces a variety of effects in the body -- the primary one being to regulate glucose levels throughout the body's cells.
Hemangiosarcoma in Dogs. The most common tumor of the spleen in dogs is hemangiosarcoma (HSA). Up to 50% of dogs with splenic HSA are in DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation or inability to clot blood) at the time of presentation. Unfortunately, with surgery alone, the average survival times are only around 3 months.
