Super, super, super. Everybody bookmark the link Peggy sent. I am FLOORED by the # of people who go to so called "expert" vets and can't get a bitch pregnant to save their souls. And they keep handing over the $$$$$$$$$...and they don't know enough themselves to know that their chosen expert is a nut....frustrating. WHY would anybody do multiple trancervicals??? try THREE! WHY would anybody do AI's (w/ healthy collections) 2 days in a row???? I've had vets (not mine) who won't tell a stud dog owner the progesterone #. More than once. Yes, that's me you see hitting the ceiling ^%%$$#! I spoke to a gal in another breed earlier this week who had $4,900 in a missed pregnancy between testing, testing, testing, stud fee, shipping chilled, surgical implant, MORE testing, ultrasound...ey-yi-yi! And she's still using the same vet!!!!!! Cha-ching, let the cash register sing....sigh. I've been on the "brood bitch" side and the "stud dog" side and the absolute nonsense that comes out of some vets' mouths....so it's up to the owners IMO to be educated. Know when to test, know when to breed and for the love of God know when you are dealing w/ a clueless party.... OK, off the soap box...

There is a wealth of information here from basic canine reproductive anatomy, reproductive cycles, how to prepare extended chilled semen, pregnancy from start to finish, whelping, dystocia, even ultrasounds & x-ray of fetuses. If you dig around there's a TON of info here including x-ray slides and ultrasound videos of canine pregnancy at like day 20, 30, 40, & 55. http://www.vetmed.lsu.edu/eiltslotus/theriogenology-5361/ Just click the link that says index then canine theriogenology or on whatever else is of interest! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
