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.
Mast Cell Tumors. Mast cell tumors are malignant growths that are the most frequently met tumors in canines. The tumors may be firm or softer and may have indentations or be smooth; the tumor may often bleed and will affect mostly older dogs. Some dog breeds are more susceptible to developing these mast cell tumors.
