Well it wasn't the news I was expecting and hoping for today. We went off for Emmi's first progesterone test and ultrasound this morning. The ultrasound was to double check that her uterus is all healthy before going ahead with the AI, particularly given she is a bit older, at almost six years of age.
Sadly, it showed that there is some thickening of the uterine wall and some cyst development, indications of a mild level of cystic endometrial hyperplasis, not unusual in older girls. Although not remotely severe, Dr Mason believed we would be safest not going ahead this season, and risking the loss of a litter, given how precious Ressi's semen in. Instead, he advised treating her, with the aim of getting her ready for her next season.
So sadly, there still won't be Emmi x Ressi babies for a little while to come, which has left me rather depressed today. But as Dr Mason said, better to be a little disappointed now and still have a good chance than a lot disappointed in a couple of months time.
Once Emmi has completed her season this time around we will commence her treatment plan. I did consider deleting this blog and starting again down the track, but in the end, I guess this is all part of the process. So I will keep it going - although news won't be all that frequent for a while.
Its a good thing you had the exam done on Emmi and you will now have a better chance of a successful mating the next time around.
