Guest Anonymous Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 Hello, I am trying to find some info on canine cystic ovaries. If anyone has any info on this subject, I would appreciate the pass over of it!! :-? Thanks, KAT Quote
DogPaddle Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 All I know is if you want to minimize the effects you should reduce the carb intake of the dog, ensure their blood suger remains as stable (and not high) as possible, give them appropriate excercise, keep extra weight off. This is not first hand info, just something I heard from someone who heard from someone so please double check with a vet. Quote
Daisysmom Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Did you know that ovaries are cystic by nature? (My own doctor told me that when I had a problem.) They cycle. The cysts come and go. I would think they would be relatively the same in all mammals. Quote
DogPaddle Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Cystic ovary syndrome is caused when the egg is not fully released, causing cysts on the overy that do not release or go away. When this happens repeatedly - polycystic overy syndrome, it can relate to an increased chance of ovarian cancer. It also precludes procreation without fertility drugs, can be painful and is linked to high blood suger and obeisety. Quote
