Saterday januari 10th, day 16 of the estrus; Would the progestrone level have been increased?
Sleeping late was not ment for us on this Saturday morning; a progesterone test was on the program. Eva soon noticed we would go out with the three of us and rushed to get into the car. Since she was a pup so always liked to go by car.
Blood collection had become routine for Eva; She just not lifted her leg as if she would say: “well doctor, do what you have to, I know how this works”. Even the prommised cookie was not interesting enough anymore. The vet thought mating should be done next sunday, probably monday. but only the test could be conclusive about it. He would call as soon as he knows.
Matters into own paw..
Having a cup of coffee when we were back home the phone rang rather soon. The vet did not hesitate: “Mating has to be done today as the progesterone level is 11.2”! Increased by 7.9 in two days! In an earlier blog I said Eva is no fast riser, well she made up for that!
Despite you know mating has to be done now, it is a slight adjustment to get used to the idea that this will be the big day. Our advantage is that Eva’s fiancé is part of our pack and therefor available right away. Geoff was ready a couple of day ago and thought it was no problem to jump into action!
Geoff is an experienced stud, but for Eva is was her first. And she let us all know. Fortunately Geoff could not be distracted by Eva. He take matters into own paw and the mating was there.. A succesfull mating which we will repeat tomorrow for the best results.
An exciting time is ahead of us. Will Eva be pregnant?
