We have the coolest customers! Wildlife veterinarian, Peregrine L. Wolff, DVM from the Nevada Department of Wildlife shared the pictures and story with us! Enjoy!
Dr. Wolff said, "In the photo, we are conducting an ultrasound to determine pregnancy in this mule deer doe. This was done as part of an ongoing study to determine the energetic costs for varying migration strategies amongst 3 different populations of mule deer in Nevada."
She continued, "This project is conducted in collaboration with researchers in the wildlife department at the University of Nevada, Reno. Over the period of the study a number of adult does were captured for radio-collaring as well as physiologic measurements. We utilized the IBEX ultrasound unit to perform rump fat measurements as well as confirm presence or absence of pregnancy. With the 2 battery packs I was able to scan animals all day without requiring access to a power source. The IBEX has performed very well for us under these rugged field conditions."
Thank you Dr. Peregrine L. Wolff, DVM and the Nevada Department of Wildlife for sharing your amazing pictures with us.
