Changes in the body temperature of nine beagle bitches were recorded during the oestrous cycle commencing early in proestrus and continuing into metoestrus. Vaginal smears were collected and plasma progesterone determinations made during the study. Most animals showed a thermal nadir during oestrus followed by a rise and a period of higher temperature values; there was no close correlation between the timing of changes in vaginal cytology and progesterone levels and that of the nadir. The bitch does not show a typical biphasic temperature pattern as seen in women and it seems unlikely that the parameter will prove useful in predicting the stage of the canine oestrous cycle. |
