Since you did progesterone before, do you have a record of what her test results were before? and when her level started to increase? I would absolutely keep testing Another thing....your vet is sending the tests out, right???? And finally, see if your vet has an account w/ Quest. Huge diff in price between Quest and Antech. As for a bitch not ovulating...it can happen.

Sept 30 -- I noticed her heat. It was late though because she always goes in early Sept. Oct 7 -- Day 8 -- Progesterone shows 0.2 Oct 12 -- Day 12 - progesterone shows 0.2 the same. When he did a vaginal smear, it showed some cornified, some not cornified. I've never run into this before. Is she even going to ovulate do you think? Dr. recommends doing another progresterone on Friday, day 15. Not sure what I should do, as I hate to keep doing progesterone, meaning if she's hanging what does one do?
