We now offer mass spectrometry measurement of progesterone/DHP ratios for the determination of placental support of pregnancy and as evidence for the safe removal of pregnant mares from progesterone supplementation. Please see the complete information and submission form.
Feline/Canine anti-Mullerian hormone (Spaychek/AMH) testing is currently available. Testing with Spaychek from Preventia Diagnostics is a safe, humane and cost-effective alternative to surgical exploration to determine spay status. Please see more information under anti-Mullerian Hormone Testing. The test may be submitted using our sample submission form.
