Abstract

A total of 18 anestrus bitches were randomly divided into 3 groups (G-I, G-II and G-III) and 6 cyclic bitches
were considered as G-IV. Estrus was induced in G-I and G-II groups with Cabergoline @ 5 μg per kg body weight orally
till the second day of proestrual bleeding and eCG + hCG @ 20 IU/Kg b.wt for 6 days with single injection of hCG @
500 IU per bitch on day 7, respectively. G-III (anestrus control) bitches were treated with normal saline for 7days and G
IV (estrus control) bitches were allowed to exhibit estrus spontaneously. In the present study, vaginal exfoliative cytology
along with VER at estrus was recommended to predict best fertility among induced with cabergoline and cyclical estrus
exhibited bitches.
