Commonly observed effects include behavioral shifts such as increased thirst or energy changes. A significant clinical consideration for any estrogen therapy is the potential for bone marrow suppression, which can influence the production of blood cells; your veterinarian will monitor this through periodic blood tests.

Owners should monitor for any unusual bruising, pale gums or significant shifts in energy and contact their veterinarian promptly with concerns.
