RE: KY Jelly -- Vickey her Boy
The packaging on my recently purchased tubes of KY Jelly say: This product is not a contraceptive and does not contain a spermacide. Nancy Melone ...KY Jelly now has bacteriacides in it which make it somewhat Spermicidal. DON'T use it in a breeding context! Sherri V.

My warning came from a Dr.Robt. Hutchison seminar I attended yesterday. His comment was that they've added a bacteriacide and that most things that kill bacteria also kill sperm. I think the packaging info is likely to prevent them from being sued by someone saying that it didn't prevent a pregnancy. Anyway, how many sperm have to be killed in what time frame to be classified spermicidal? I have no idea...but considering the fertility problems in Bernese, I'm not take'n any chances if it's in conjunction with a breeding. -Sherri V.

Furthermore, I have even heard that AI equipment should be rinsed with distilled water - NOT chlorinated tap water. Fertility can be a fragile thing. Unless we're talking about teens in the backseat or intact dogs of opposite sex and different breeds in the backyard. Sharon Montville - Firstrax - Colorado __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
