Accurate and rapid progesterone testing is extremely valuable to breeders as it allows them to determine their bitch’s progesterone levels (and hence when they are likely to ovulate) within 10 minutes of blood collection. Without in-house progesterone testing, results can take as long as 24 hours and matings can be missed. In-house progesterone testing is much more convenient and practical, especially if you need to run multiple progesterone tests. This will mean fewer missed ovulations and will make it much easier to plan both artifical inseminations and natural matings. Progesterone testing is also useful for elective caesareans (especially if there is not an accurate mating date recorded) and in some bitches with recurrent pregnancy loss.
“Michael & his team of nurses and admin staff went out of their way to help us. I travelled from Queensland and found their whole set up offered an exemplary reproductive service. Even when circumstances put us on weekend time, Michael came in on his day off to perform a collection and TCI after hours. Wingham & Valley Vets pricings were very affordable & considerably cheaper than we would have paid in regional Queensland. Fabulous, professional service with great attention to the requirements of both animals & humans alike. I can only highly recommend this animal hospital. Thankyou for everything W&V Vets!”
