Could it just be that it is 'normal' for her? I remember being taught pro-oestrus 3d-3wk, av 9d; oestrus 3d-3wk, av 9d; metoestrus

So if the owner is counting 'season' from start pro-oestrus, it could be that up to 6wks is 'normal' ?

Do a progesterone test and see where she is in her season. Some females get stuck in the 1-2ng region for a long time which can be a failure of LH, in this case I would use Chorulon.

If progesterone is higher then it's not impossible to have ovarian cysts, we see about 2-3 females every year. You can ultrasound the ovaries!

Some very young females can have a "split season", they go up, then down and then up again and ovulate second time.

Can Delvosteron be used instead of Ovarid? It can be used on the first day of a season as I recall to stop it in its tracks? Or check on the dose of LH for a dog perhaps?

Good luck, these cases can be tricky!
