More terms you never thought you'd need to know --- "TCI" which stands for Transcervical Insemination (whereby the semen is deposited directly into the uterus).
Today, Zene and I made another trip to Yorba Regional where Spenser's Fed Ex "package" had arrived and was waiting. The semen is tested for motility and viability and I am thrilled to report that 12 year-old Spenser had semen with a 90% motility, this is fantastic and even the vet commented on how great it was. With little trouble, Zene underwent the TCI procedure --- just a few minutes to prep, no anesthesia required, and we were ready to head back home.
