It's called an Anti Muellerian Hormone test. It tests for hormones at unusual levels.
Mag "passed" his AMH test this week. Apparently his adrenal glands are producing testosterone, in levels above normal. So, no hidden testicles.
I had no idea the adrenal glands could produce testosterone and I'm pretty good at my physiology!
So the vet recommends a lifelong treatment of "Chaste-tree" or "Monk's pepper" which includes magnesium and tryptophan.
Without input from people who have used such a thing, I'm not going to do it. I'm going to just continue to try to discourage the stud behavior as best I can.
I'd appreciate help if anyone has experience in this area.
(This is Mag's answer to being lunged - "This sucks, I'm outta here." Note he's taken the wrong lead in an attempt to drag me across the arena. We've made a lot of progress but we're still not able to w/t/c.)
