Vasopressin agonists are used therapeutically in various conditions, and its long-acting synthetic analogue desmopressin is used in conditions featuring low vasopressin secretion, as well as for control of bleeding (in some forms of von Willebrand disease and in mild haemophilia A) and in extreme cases of bedwetting by children.
Dog pregnancies are typically divided into three stages: 1-3 Weeks: Small changes take place with a female dog’s body and behavior. It’s often hard to tell that they are pregnant this early ...
There is no evidence of substantial benefit of one vasopressor over another; [36] however, using dopamine leads to an increased risk of arrhythmia when compared with norepinephrine. [37] Vasopressors have not been found to improve outcomes when used for hemorrhagic shock from trauma [38] but may be of use in neurogenic shock. [20]
In domestic dogs, sexual maturity occurs between the ages of 6 and 12 months for both males and females, although this can be delayed until up to two years of age for some large breeds. [2] Pregnancy is possible as soon as the first estrus cycle, but breeding is not recommended prior to the second cycle. [3]
Delaying initiation of vasopressor therapy during septic shock is associated with increased mortality. [ 73 ] Norepinephrine is often used as a first-line treatment for hypotensive septic shock because evidence shows that there is a relative deficiency of vasopressin when shock continues for 24 to 48 hours.

However, during the first trimester and in higher concentrations (40 mg/day), [9] PGF 2α can cause an abortion by degrading the corpus luteum, which normally acts to maintain pregnancy via the production of progesterone. Since the fetus is not viable outside the womb by this time, the lack of progesterone leads to the shedding of the uterine ...
A female dog is usually diestrous (goes into heat typically twice per year), although some breeds typically have one or three cycles per year. The proestrus is relatively long at 5 to 9 days, while the estrus may last 4 to 13 days, with a diestrus of 60 days followed by about 90 to 150 days of anestrus.
