Pregnancy blood test

[MARYDVM]

You may have heard about ReproCHEK a test for canine relaxin, a hormone produced after implantation of fertilized eggs (21 to 35 days after breeding). The test is being marketed by Synbiotics Corp. Their website is www.synbiotics.com

Haven't used it yet, it just came out this summer. If it performs as advertized it should be a valuable test. The relaxin is produced throughout the whole pregnancy (after implantation) so bitches can be tested late in pregnancy too if there is fear of a false pregnancy, or reabsorption of embryos.

I read somewhere that some company (ICG??) now had a blood test for Canine pregnancy detection 90+% accurate at 4 weeks

Anyone have more info on this and / or used it??
