This is from page 22 of the handout she uses at lectures. I believe Dr. Center is scheduled to lecture at the 2008 specialty this month.
I'm curious how many breeders are actually doing a BAT before their puppies leave. |
i can say that my NEW VET (WHO I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE) a reproductive specialist advised me that they need to be at least 6 months old.....or to their adult weight for Yorkshire Terriers. They have to fast for 12 hours before the test and because yorkies are so small normally, they will not do the test until this time. BELIEVE ME, I WOULD DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT. last thing i want is someone to come to me and state their dog has ls.
