Re: [AlpacaTalk] transrectal ultrasound
Flossie;
I have seen this happen often when it comes to rectal ultrasounds resulting in abortions. One year, we had a vet come out to confirm pregnancies on our females as well as a couple girls who were there for breeding. There were 5 total females, and all had rectal ultrasounds done. Every single one of them aborted their pregnancies. We haven't had a rectal done since. We will normally just let them go on with their pregnancies unless we feel something isn't normal, then we resort to abdominal ultrasounds.
Don't see a need to be invasive if it isn't necessary...

I am surprised to read of so many doing transrectal ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy. I bought my first animals from a large breeder. She had one of my girls ultrasounded to confirm her pregnancy by a vet other than her regular one who was out of town. Her regular vet usually did abdominal US but this one performed it rectally. She noticed blood on the probe when it was extracted.My girl aborted shortly after. I currently use a vet who has a large camelid practice. He has always done abdominal ultrasounds. What is the advantage to using the more invasive procedure?
