 Until recently we used the Pre-mate tests and they seemed &amp;#39;ok&amp;#39; but have just bought a small analyser called a Wondfo Finecare. I imagine someone will tell me it&amp;#39;s useless, but the numbers *seem* to correlate with what the bitch is showing</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: What are you doing regarding progesterone measurement in bitches?</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/241138?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Mar 2023 07:14:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:9560ae8c-5f5d-4540-9ddb-34b65803037c</guid><dc:creator>Glenn Hodgson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We are using a v check.

&lt;p&gt;Depends on how you define useless but in my experience this particular one is so bad that you&amp;#39;re better off doing vaginal cytology or guessing. It does give you numbers so you can sell a service. As most owners will mate naturally or do fresh AI over 2-4 days most bitches will be pregnant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have several glucometers and would chose them over the Wondfo any day of the week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somebody was selling an AIA-360 on facebook, used, for 4000 pounds a few days ago. It&amp;#39;s what most fertility clinics will have and it&amp;#39;s better than Wondfo. Probably at the same level as Catalyst.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re planning to venture in to frozen semen territory then I would recommend a Vidas or Immulite.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
