A middle aged dog presents with a 2 week history of hair loss, itching, and scratching.
The only change was a 'new' pet bed the owner purchased at a second hand store. Skin
scrape examination showed a zoonotic parasite not found in the hair follicle. What was

Proestrus
when ovarian follicles are starting to grow. It immediately precedes estrus.

is the time of actual heat when follicles are mature and ovulation occurs or can be

is regression of the corpus luteum.
Anestrus
