The Importance of Predicting Ovulation
There are many advantages to detecting when ovulation takes place in a bitch you are planning to breed with. Gone are the days of guess work. The mating of a bitch has become more science based now, meaning less room for error and in theory, less chance of missing a well planned litter.
Vaginal Cytology
A series of vaginal swabs are taken over a few days and are studied under a microscope. There is a surge of Lutenising Hormone (LH) when ovulation (releasing of the eggs). This hormone also causes secretions within the vagina to increase which makes the tissues along the vaginal walls to become hyperemic (engorged with blood). The cells which make up the tissue can be seen under the microscope, and indicate that ovulation is occuring. This method of predicting ovulation is only accurate if a series of swabs are taken and compared over a large number of days, ideally starting at day 4 of season (assuming ovulation occurs day 11).
Saliva
During the fertile period a sample of normal saliva or cervical mucus when dried and examined under a microscope contains structures resembling ferns, these ferns are actually the dried crystallisaton of the electrolytes or salts that are evident during this dramatic increase in electrolytes (salts) present during ovulation. This can be a quite inaccurate way of predicting ovulation, as there is no actual quantitive measure, and bare it in mind some breeds hardly drool.
Ovulation Pads
These pads are available online, and are relatively in comparison to the alternative forms of determining ovulation, but they are said to be unreliable. They work by inserting the pad into the vagina of the bitch and moistening the pad with the vaginal fluids. If the bitch has ovulated the pad changes from pink to purple.
Progesterone Testing
By far the most accurate way of predicting ovulation in a bitch. Progesterone levels begin to rise after pro-oestrus and increase through heat. They reach specific levels through ovulation, which means that this is a quantitive way of predicting ovulation, therefore a more accurate way. This test is done in a laboratory (the most popular being Idexx), but firstly, a blood sample must be take from the dog at the vets. The vets should then forward this onto the laboratory that same day. With Idexx, the results are given back to you the following day. Idexx also recommend when it is you go to mate the dog or if another test is needed (usually 2 days later if the progesterone level was too low for an accurate prediction of ovulation). The units they deliver the results in are normally ng/ml (nanogram per millilitre of blood). Ovulation occurs at approximately 5ng/ml.
It is important to note that not all companies measure progesterone in ng/l, some use an entirely different scale of mmol/L.
This is the potocol I use to interpret blood progesterones its in nmol/l
To convert to Progesterones in ng/l MULTIPLY BY 3.18 = progesterone in nmol/l
To convert nmmol/l DIVIDE BY 3.18 = progesterone in ng/l
0-2 nmol/L Baseline concentrations too early to estimate ovulation
3 - 6 nmol /L Minimum 2 days before ovulation expected however result of 3 - 4 nmol/L may persist for a week or longer before increasing. Earliiest estimating breeding 4 - 6 days but could be longer (re test needed)
7 - 12 nmol/L Minimum 1 day before ovulation. Estimated window for breeding 3 - 5 days but could be longer ( re test recommended)
13 - 18 nmol/L Ovulation impending or just occurred. Estimated breeding window 2 - 4 days
19 - 31 nmol/L Ovulation recently occurred. Estimated breeding window 1 - 3 days
32 - 64 nmol/L Ova have matured, optimal potential for fertility. Estimated breeding window 0 - 2 days
65 - 90 nmol/L Ova have matured but aging, decreased potential for fertility. Breed at once
Above 90 nmol/L Too late

Post Partum
* Make sure each puppy gets some of the bitch’s colostrum (first milk) within first 24 hours.
* Lochia (vaginal discharge) should be reddish to reddish-brown (green is okay on first day). If you see black discharge, contact your vet immediately!
* Within 5-6 hours of last puppy’s birth, you can take bitch and puppies to vet for check up if something seems to be wrong. The vet will ensure that the bitch hasn’t retained any puppies or placentas and that the puppies are in good health. You especially want to check for cleft palates as these puppies probably won’t survive and should be euthanized now.
