Paul's info is a good start but I would suggest a couple things you might try before going that route.

First, "physiologic saline". Important distinction there. If you are just using plain water or the like you are going nuke the sperm cells so they will not look/act normal. If you can, get a bottle of PS or KRPD from your vet.

Second, I would try popping a few males and see if you can get a good sample off of them so that when you transition to checking from a female you can know what you are looking at/for.
