Here's the scary thing...I know what I want, I understand progesterone
timing, I know when to breed a bitch depending on if we are doing fresh,
chilled, frozen etc. AND still there were screw ups with the labs (plural!).
I
did what I thought was my due diligence by carefully interviewing a
new-to-me vet. What about the 1st or 2nd or 3rd time breeder who get taken by
all
this nonsense?????
Vaginal folds?????? VAGINAL FOLDS??????? Arrrrgggghhhhh! I'm still
upset!!!
Congrats on a lovely litter:)))))
