Ultrasonographic pregnancy diagnosis and monitoring
We are experienced at verifying pregnancy in your bitch. In addition, if there are potential problems, the ultrasound can help to monitor puppy well being over the course of the pregnancy.
WhelpWise
We are delighted to have the ability and experience to work with WhelpWise - an advanced method of monitoring the late stages of pregnancy and whelping in bitches. Whelp Wise is based in Colorado and uses special instrumentation and the phone line to monitor the state of the uterus. The 24 hour service informs the owner of the bitch and the veterinarian if any abnormalities are developing. Talk to us is you would like to learn how to take advantage of this form of uterine monitoring or explore their website at www.whelpwise.com/vps/Pages/whelpwise.htm.
Radiographic timing for puppy numbers and development
Hormonal timing for pregnancy maintenance and timing of whelping
Every time that we have completed ovulation timing and breeding for a bitch, we are able to provide accurate whelping dates, generally within a period of 3 days. (This is in contrast to the 2 week period without ovulation timing.) This allows you to be available for close monitoring of your bitch and a fast reaction if problems occur. If your bitch was not ovulation timed, we can still help to provide increased information if problems or concerns develop.
Assisted whelping/planned C-sections
We have a trained and experienced staff of veterinarians and technicians who know exactly what is needed to maximize bitch and puppy safety during the whelping process. We can perform planned Caesarian sections on any bitch that may not whelp successfully on her own. Talk to us about whether this option is best for your girl and her future superdog puppies.
