I am looking at my bill from my repro vet (In Malvern, PA & she is VERY good & has been doing this for a LOOONG time) - total $2,210. This includes her stay of 8 days at $55./day, simply because I couldn't go to her with my bitch every other day or whatever for progesterone tests, so I left her there for 8 days' so the total bill reflects not only her stay, but the daily progesterone tests, anesthesia, vaginal cytology, vaginoscopy (whatever that is), anesthesia, and on and on. BUT . . . SHE is worth it - this was my MVXCH Karizma's Liberia von Loar, bred to "Oscar". Tomorrow, I am scheduled to do an ultra-sound with the super-duper ultrasound vet (around $400.) I hope he finds puppies - hahahahaha - I have to laugh, because I might cry. I will post the results of the ultra-sound tomorrow.
