Hi, my 10 month old has had her second hormone injection for an ovarian cyst. After the first one the vet said he felt that the cyst had gone down and she had out on 10kg. He has now said that she needs to have a scan to check the uterus and check in general for anything he might not be able to feel, and that it is 100% gone. After this if she needs a third hormone injection he could give it to her. I am a bit worried about this as going in for a scan means I have to take her first thing and she stays in all day, this seems really traumatic for her. He has told me to bring her friend so this means both of them in the vets all day.

I was hoping to hear from anyone who may have been through this procedure, or who has had 2 hormone injections for an ovarian cyst, and whether you had to have a scan too?

Thanks,
Lauren
 
My sow Lily had this treatment and did really well on it. The course was two injections. She’s just had another course of three injections this time. She has ultrasounds every six months to keep an eye on things and spends the day at the vets with her friend. They do fine although are always glad to be home again. It’s worse for us because we miss them all day. I hope that helps.

That does help thanks, I think this is what she's having an ultra sounds scan to see whats what. My first one so I am nervous about it but this has given me a bit of confidence.
