Increased
accuracy for the detection of ovarian function in females
(GnRH stimulation) in cats and dogs and
the diagnosis of Sertoli cell tumours in dogs
(Oestradiol)
GnRH
Stimulation Test Protocol
1)
Take a basal blood sample.
2)
Inject IV 0.32 µg Buserelin (Receptal, Hoechst). (A
very small volume of drug is required (83µL), therefore
dilute the drug 1:10 with sterile water for injection and
then inject 0.83mL).
3)
Take a further blood sample 3 hours later.
4)
Send both samples for analysis of low level Oestradiol.
Sample
requirement: 1 ml serum or plasma.
Low
level Oestradiol is run on Monday with results ready Tuesday.
