Hubcitypam Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) We have a teeny 5# girl maltese named Channey that comes to daycare. For quite a while channey's little hoo hoo was all swollen like you couldn't believe and everyone wanted to hump her poor little self. She really looked like she was in heat but not bleeding. The parents finally ended up spending close to $1,000 at the specialists in addition to the regular vet who was thinking maybe an ovary was missed at her spay. Mystery solved. Her Mom was using some sort of Estrogen cream and Channy was absorbing it when she was held or by licking when the woman didn't notice (as when she was asleep). The hormones made Channy's little body think it was preggers. Isn't that crazy? Edited March 26, 2008 by Hubcitypam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mandm Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Very interesting story. Sometimes, when I am paying my greyhound feed bill, I wish I had a bitty little dog. But stories like that make me realize how nice it is to have a big "tough" greyhound. Average greyhound weighs 15 times more, and so I would assume, would need to injest 15 times more "poison" to be negatively affected.

Remolacha Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 weird! I agree about the small dog/big dog thing. Sometimes I look at Fletcher and think, I could have gotten a dog I could pick up with one hand, like the cats, but nnooooo, I had to get Godzilla. The big guys have a lot of advantages!

Hubcitypam Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Channey's Mom was putting it on her palms and inner arms. Because progesterone is very fat-soluble, it is easily absorbed through the skin. From subcutaneous fat, progesterone is absorbed into capillary blood. Thus absorption is best at all the skin sites where people blush: face, neck, chest, breasts, inner arms and palms of the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 There was an episode of "House" that covered something like that, only it involved children and a testosterone product their father was using. Are you sure she isn't putting you on? If it's true, that's really weird. What sort of "cream" has estrogen in it, and why isn't she washing her hands???

A lot of times, people on hormone replacement treatments, like women in monopause, need to do things like this as part of their med regimen. There are *reasons* for it, but I don't need to get into them here. Those are intimate details that most people don't want! And no, I don't know this from experience...
