We have a human version of Ovatel (think thats the name) that tests the saliva & also urine sticks created for humans too, of varying strengths - probably for women who have lower hormone levels showing in their urine.. I couldn't work out what strength I needed so I got one of each!
We did run a test last time the girls came in, to see which was most successful.
I also tried them on myself (as a control lol !!)
The saliva crystals test was spot on for Maisy & Zozo, but not on Lucy
The urine sticks (the 40's) worked on Maisy & Lucy, the 30's worked on Zozo.. I have to say catching the wee was a nightmare & I had to pay Lillie to do it!!!
The idexx bloodtest was also accurate. Millie was mated once on the day specified & has a tummy full
- The saliva Ovatel was about £12 to buy
- The urine sticks were £5 for 25 if I remember
- The Idexx test was £25 plus recorded delivery & whatever your vet charges to draw blood
If you haven't used any of the home testing things before, its definitely worth trying on yourself so you know what you are looking for (Jim & Craig excepted lol)
I do have some of the urine sticks here if anyone wants to try them. They are in date until the end of the year & I don't plan to breed again until next year, so let me know if you can use them
