While we're on the subject of heats, has anyone ever experienced a lag in a heat cycle from switching to raw? I have two bitches that are at least five months overdue to come in, and the only thing that's being done differently is their diet. Both of them have had normal, regular, very noticeable heat cycles before. I can't think of what would be causing such a delay in coming back in this time around. I'm going to try adding the supplements that were suggested here, but any other suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Not me, my bitches have been regular like clockwork.
Dirty Hammer gave birth 1/24/11 last year, and 1/30/12 this year, with one inbetween.

Progesterone Test
Generally, progesterone tests are administrated after it is known the bitch has started her heat cycle. Its only benefit is to target ovulation within the heat cycle itself, not to indicate when the bitch's cycle first started.
Because the trouble with "silent heats" is you never know when the bitch first begins her cycle ... or at least it's very hard to spot ... that means (unless you're prepared to give a progesterone test to your bitch 365 days of the year) the progesterone test isn't going to help you do anything, until you actually know your bitch is in heat.

Yes I bought the entire multivitamin in liquid form, I gave 2 Table spoons in feed a day to a 30lbs bitch.
