spaying and invitro????

[Hrossen11]

A dog does not need to be in heat for harvesting eggs if they are spaying. Females (both human and canine) are born with eggs fully developed your hormones tell your body when to release them which is why humans need to be ovulating. But if they take the ovary sacs out when spaying they just harvest the eggs then. Humans going through invitro plan on carring their babies so they need everything intact.

Getting a new vet after the spay is a great idea... I too am thinking about getting a new dr for my neck since I do not feel secure with his approach but I am going to wait until after he does the surgery that could possibly kill or paralyze me before I switch......

This is NOT anything YOU need to even be considering! I am sorry, but you do not have the breeding stock, the knowledge, nor the notoriety as a breeder of quality lines to even worry about this! This is like someone who enjoys watching pee wee league football, show up at the Super Bowl, expecting to be accepted as a starter!!!
There is more to this than collecting eggs from a dam, sperm from a stud, putting the "stuff" collected into a jar and shake it up, pour it out onto a petri dish, and watch puppies spring forth! This is usually done by breeders that have WELL over $7000.00 invested in their bitch, and they are breeding her to a stud of impeccable pedigree, again a breeding that is done by PROFESSIONAL reproductive vets, to accomplish a difficult breeding between two dogs that are spectacular specimens of the breed.....PEDIGREES that are absolutely resplendent, for MANY, MANY generations. It is a very expensive procedure, and it is NOT done for any other reason but to continue a fabulous line of Yorkies, that certain "look" that a breeder has worked for years to achieve. I can not imagine why in the world a vet would even go here with this!!! You would really benefit from a consultation with a specialist in reproduction. I missed why this adult intact dog is not already spayed....cant be shown with an undocked tail, so you are not preserving a quality show coat. You should strongly consider having this lady spayed, before you have some cousins toddler let her out while she is in season, and Fred down the street gets to her. Then you can spend the next couple of years hanging out at sshows, learning how it works, and what you need to participate in the ring. Find a mentor that knows their pedigrees on their breeding stock, for many, many generations and not just the minimal AKC presentation. YOU need to know breeding lines and pedigrees, for many generations, and then you continue to study and research that information the entire time you breed. You can never know too much....but to not know enough can be catastrophic. Get you a QUALITY breeding female that is justified reproducing puppies for the "betterment of the breed" ....this will set you back several thousand dollars. Then you can work on getting a stud that will be a wonderful fit for your female, to produce that magical look that is our Yorkie.

Touché!

Just my two cents, I would switch vets before the spay. Who knows what this vet will do during the spay with your babies eggs. He could easily harvest them without you even knowing :-(
