I used this with GREAT results with my persians and avoided a couple c sections that way. anyway, hope you get some good answers Penny! I am not familar enough yet...the 2 tests you mentioned I would do...and the Vet recommended a Progestrone test....to see where the bitch is at with her cycle. angela scott Orion GSD _______________________________ > From: Penny & Bill <Ketchy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > I want to know what tests you give on your bitches and/or males) when > youâre going to do a breeding. What I do is have the vet run a > mycoplasma test on both (there seems to be mycoplasma everywhere), run a > brucellosis culture and start the bitch on amoxicillin the day she goes into > season. I also give colloidal silver to keep the immune system healthy. > Is there anything else I should be doing? > Angie is due to come in soon and I want to be fully prepared. (I have > already done her preliminary hip and elbow x-rays.) > > TIA > > Penny in NC > The Farm Dog Forever > > ===========================================================================> > POST is Copyrighted 2012.
