- Vaginal Cytology - It is a lab procedure that involves swabbing the dog’s vagina and examining under a microscope. This procedure determines the stage of a dog’s estrous cycle for breeding purposes.
- Progesterone Testing - Testing for progesterone levels can help determine the best time to breed or artificially inseminate your breeding dog. We collect a blood sample and the test is performed at the local hospital.
- Artificial insemination (AI) - Artificial insemination is a useful tool for breeding animals. We can collect the sample from the male dog and inseminate the female dog.
- Cesarean Section (C-Section) - Most mothers can deliver without complications but occasionally a dog or cat is unable to deliver without medical intervention. If a C-section is needed, the animal is sedated with gas anesthesia and intubated. The surgery is performed as efficiently as possible in order to have the best outcome for the babies.
- Ultrasound - A useful tool in determining pregnancy is the ultrasound. It can give an estimation on how many babies to expect.
