Reverse Progesterone Testing for Whelping

Unfortunately from time to time breeders can’t always be 100% sure on what day of pregnancy their female may be on and more importantly if their female decides to whelp earlier than expected.
Not only does this cause many watchful sleepless nights but it also causes many problems when a planned C-section needs to be booked.

All C-sections booked at Trusted Vets will receive a reverse progesterone test before the surgery.

Canine Artificial Insemination near Herefordshire

With the risk of infection and unwanted viruses’ natural matings are becoming a thing of the past.
Access to high-quality genetics by shipping freshly chilled or frozen semen from a distant stud dog.
Allows breeders to facilitate breeding that could not happen through natural means.

Artificial insemination is especially useful within the bulldog breeds, some females may have ‘Welling’ which means a pocket of blood is sat within the tract causing an unlikely positive pregnancy result. This ‘Well’ is easily drained during the artificial insemination process and usually, a course of antibiotics to take home would suffice.
