Now that is what I call velocity! Here we have a video of a sample used for a TCI.

When evaluating a sample, we determine motility, concentration, morphology, and the total number of viable s***m per sample. Always ensure a thorough semen evaluation including morphology is performed on a sire's sample and a total number of viable s***m is provided per breeding unit to ensure an accurate assessment of the sire's viability.

This is Matisse, a beautiful example of a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, having her first TCI. We couldn’t ask for a more well behaved patient 🦆🐶

Dr. Souther is performing a laparoscopic canine ovariectomy. Laparoscopic surgery is scientifically proven to have a faster recovery time and pets are less painful postoperatively than a traditional spay. We are one of the few hospitals in San Diego that offer laparoscopic procedures. Give the office a call today at (760)729-3330 for pricing, scheduling, or more information.

Meet this handsome boy, Yogi! When we first met Yogi, he was a tiny 8 day old puppy that was barely hanging onto life. Dr. Souther is an expert in neonatal care, which made all the difference in his survival. It is so wonderful to see this energetic puppy happy and thriving! 🐶

An excellent view from today’s TCI(transcervical insemination) where you can see the catheter entering the cervix for insemination.

Here is Dr. Souther performing a laparoscopic gastropexy. Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive and allows us to visualize inside the pet in real time without an open abdominal surgery. The less invasive nature of laparoscopic surgery allows pets to have a shorter, easier recovery time. We are so excited to be one of the only veterinary hospitals in the area to use this amazing technology.

Another successful c-section! Remi was so happy to meet her 5 beautiful babes. Red collar is definitely a spicy 🌶 one 😉 She was not afraid to tell us what was on her mind!

Ariel, a miniature poodle 🐩, was a perfect patient for her TCIs. Performing two transcervical inseminations can lead to an increase in litter size. 😊
