hi have always relied on bitch and stud dog in the past always had pups —–but this time we have such along way to go –the bitch in ouestiion was a maiden bitch already miss mated to the stud in june last —so this is our second chance with him —was adviced to blood test –but can only do the inhouse type because of xmas hols the lab is closed –she is on her 3rd test showing still in proestrus –she is now 15 days in —–any advice please compton
I have known bitches ovulate much later than day 15 as late as day 23 with a following litter of eight pups have also known of a beardie that missed twice with blood tests and was mated third time on only day 7 using the ovulation pads with five pups in her litter the following year she was mated again on day 7 and had another litter of five Personally I have used the pads and Mate tel which is a ‘fern’ tester and depends on changing salt levels in the bitch’s saliva. When I handled a friends stud dog the bitches that had the pre mate blood tests always came too early to the stud he was a good boy and always knew the right time usually with the pre mate it was 24 hours later than the vets go time Val Val
Sorry it’s not much help if only it was an exact science we would all be happy. It’s not much help this time this time but I have had good results with the pads in the past I brought them here http://www.ovulationpads.info/
