Happy Birthday to Me!

Hey everyone! Sorry for lack of updates but I do have quite a bit of news for you.

After Lexi's ultrasound turned up no pregnancy, it showed that she had a follicle growing almost to a 40 (which is what she ovulated at last time) so I ordered more semen. They bred her and checked her the next morning, and the follicle had shrunk. Lexi had fluid accumulation in her uterus so they just flushed that out and did a culture on it. It had no bacteria growth in it. They didn't crush the cysts.

I brought her home and decided to switch vets to a reproductive specialist Dr. Laura Chamberlain, Lexi was dropped off there last week and started on shots for a short cycle again. Laura said that she didn't think that the cysts were interfering with Lexi catching, rather that she probably had fluid accumulation from irritation last time as well and they didn't catch it which killed off the embryo. So this time six hours after breeding no matter what she is going to flush her out.

Ugh. So much for an early baby. But she is doing well, her butt is healing up nicely, and she is happy and healthy. If only her reproductive system would cooperate...
