piper Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Fingers crossed the cytology was wrong Trisven. We had our second breeding today. I will give full story now, it has been an up and down week here too. I took Jazz along to the vet for progesterone testing and he did a full breeding check up - swabbed, checked for strictures. A few days later I was taling to an experienced breeder friend who questioned why she was tested when she was and also said there was no way they could check for a stricture as early as they did. Went for second progesterone test and due to hassles with the clinic with that second test I decided to change to a repro specialist who was not really that much further away. The staff were so helpful when I rang and explained what her results were and when the test was taken and based on that they recommended a test on Saturday. So test number 3 on Saturday and the outcome was breed on Sunday. So on Sunday we headed off for the "date" After quite a few unsuccesful attempts by the dog a friend who was there assisting called a vet and breeder she knows to ask about fresh AI. He very kindly came to us on Sunday to assist and ended up doing a fresh AI. Whilst doing that he commented on the very tight stricture that my girl has and that the dog would most likely not have got past it and it could present a problem for having the pups I mentioned to him that a vet had checked and said there were none and he was very surprised as he said it is very obvious and very tight, not a small 1 that is likely to break down His advice was get her checked a couple fo days before she is due to whelp to see if it has broken down otherwsie do an elective c-section and get it snipped out at the same time. I am just so cross that I had her checked and was told all was fine, only to then be told this at the time of breeding and now I am terrified of it causing a problem. I was telling the saga to the breeder of my girl who said "welcome to the world of breeding" LOL. We did a second fresh AI thiss evening and are now at the wait and see stage. I am no longer going back to the clinic I have used for 18 years - I am so annoyed at the way Jazz was handled by the staff for the tests, the way I was treated in trying to get the results and then finding out that the vet did not find this stricture (not that I am sure we could have done anything anyway, more that he made a big deal about checking and saying how all was fine when it isn't) The nurses at the repro clinic were wonderful and so gentle with her and very understanding when I explained what had happened and took the time to settle her. We haven't seen the vet there yet but will head out there for our ultrasound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Fingers Crossed Tris!!! As I was sending Ari to the other side of the country, we did Prog tests to be sure... as she's had some short seasons before but this one turned out to be very textbook. piper how frustrating for you!!! I would at least go back to the original vet that said there was no stricture to inform them that there was in fact one there. You can also use that conversation to tell them that they have lost a very valuable customer!! Oooh Irish Lassy how exciting!! make sure you pop in here and tell us the results Edited March 23, 2011 by SparkyTansy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Could anyone give me advice if 27/28 days is too early to ultrasound?Thankyou so much in advance!! IL from what I have read and looked at past posts, sometimes it can be too early some people will get a negative and then get a nice surprise later on... but for the most part I think it is common to get checked around day 28. I've booked my ultrasound for day 30... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 piper how frustrating for you!!! I would at least go back to the original vet that said there was no stricture to inform them that there was in fact one there. You can also use that conversation to tell them that they have lost a very valuable customer!! Yeah, I was going to write a letter and outline the various issues. I have also over the last 6 months had 2 fairly urgent issues so just booked with whoever was on and did not specify who I saw (I have my preferences but for urgent situations then obviously I will not wait until they are consulting and have a free appointment) both times I got the same guy, THe first time he annoyed me, the second time I was ready to kill him. At that point I decided I would just always ask for the other vet that is on as they always have 2 consulting but now with this other stuff I will add that to the letter as well. I had a really good working relationship with the new clinic owner and I think he will be quite disappointed about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him if it is 7 then he is responsible for 2/3 of all puppy cleaning, ss I am only requesting 4 or 5. He asked how that works out to 2/3 the work and I said cos I am only cleaning up after half the 4 or 5 I am requesting, the rest is yours!! LOL. He has never been around a litter and has no idea just how much work will be involved. Edited March 24, 2011 by piper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
