Now that is what I call velocity! Here we have a video of a sample used for a TCI. When evaluating a sample, we determine motility, concentration, morphology, and the total number of viable sperm per sample. Always ensure a thorough semen evaluation including morphology is performed on a sire's sample and a total number of viable sperm is provided per breeding unit to ensure an accurate assessment of the sire's viability.

This is Matisse, a beautiful example of a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, having her first TCI. We couldn’t ask for a more well behaved patient #caninereproduction #caninebreeding #caninebreedingservices #caninetci #mohnackyanimalhospital #mohnackypets #wirehairedpointinggriffon #griffonsofinstagram #workingdog #birddog

An excellent view from today’s TCI(transcervical insemination) where you can see the catheter entering the cervix for insemination.

If you are looking for long term semen storage for your pet or need to ship semen for your stud, we have you covered with advanced liquid nitrogen tanks and shipping dewars #caninereproduction #caninevet #mohnackyanimalhospital #mohnackypets #caninestud

Here is Dr. Souther performing a laparoscopic gastropexy. Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive and allows us to visualize inside the pet in real time without an open abdominal surgery. The less invasive nature of laparoscopic surgery allows pets to have a shorter, easier recovery time. We are so excited to be one of the only veterinary hospitals in the area to use this amazing technology.

Another successful c-section! Remi was so happy to meet her 5 beautiful babes. Red collar is definitely a spicy one She was not afraid to tell us what was on her mind!

Ariel, a miniature poodle , was a perfect patient for her TCIs. Performing two transcervical inseminations can lead to an increase in litter size.

Checking heartbeats is always precious

Meet Farrah, the long hair dachshund, checking out her puppies on an ultrasound. We also have an image of an x-ray taken several days before her due date to confirm an exact puppy count. Can you count all 6?
