We had a 8pm appointment Friday night.... I was worried and excited at the same time. We had hoped we could watch, and we were allowed to see everything. We saw FiFi's "date" under microscope, she went out as a light, steady heart and normal bleeding during everything.
It was very strange seeing my big strong healthy dog lying on the table limp and out - it kinda scared me and I couldn't help thinking of the terrible day when I will loose her.....
Everything went well, with one hick-up. Her left uterine horn was normal, but the right one had a large extrauterine cyst with adhesions causing right uterine torsion. The vet broke down the adhesion, aspirated cyst and corrected the torsion, then inserted second half of sperm.
We will now have to keep a closer eye on her pregnancy if it takes, she may need a c-section, only time will tell. The vet said that if we had done a normal breeding she may not have taken, or only conceived in one horn causing a small litter.... Mother Nature... oh boy....

That's one of the benefits of having an implant, the vet can examine the uterus. My Mastiff bitch had several small cysts in one horn, the vet "popped" them and continued the implant, she ended up having 10 pups.
