With the implants I have done, the uterus itself does not have an incision. The sperm is injected with a syringe leaving no scarring to the uterus that I'm aware of. Yes, there is scarring at the initial incision to get to the uterus and of course you run the risk whenever you anesthetize an animal. It still beats an empty whelping box and lots of $$$$$$$$$$$ down the drain IMO Liz _www.lealynn.com_ (http://www.lealynn.com/) _Websites by lealynn_ (http://www.lealynn.com/web.htm) GSDCA member since 1976 Signers of the Breeders Code ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
