Dr Rebel Skirving is accredited in Frozen Semen Artificial Insemination (FSAI). Please contact our clinic for further information. Progesterone Testing Gambier Vets have an in-house progesterone machine that allows us to accurately monitor and gain a better understanding of each dog's oestrus cycle. This helps us to identify the optimal breeding date to increase pregnancy success rates. Progesterone testing can be used to monitor levels prior to whelping and caesareans, to increase the safety and viability of the mother and pups. Insemination Gambier Vets offers assisted insemination and surgical insemination with either fresh, chilled or frozen semen. Natural Insemination - The male and female dog mate naturally, with no assistance. Assisted Insemination -The semen is collected from the male dog and inseminated into the female dog's vagina via a Mavic catheter. Surgical Insemination -The female dog is placed under a general anaesthetic. The semen (fresh, chilled or frozen) is inseminated into the uterus. Caesareans Gambier Vets perform both elective and emergency caesareans. In-house progesterone testing can be useful close to the whelping date to assist in the decision of when it is safe to perform an elective caesarean. Semen Collection Collecting semen for storage (chilled or frozen) is a specialised procedure not currently offered at Gambier Vets. |
