Study Notes
Canine and Feline Reproductive Health
- Canine postpartum problems include normal long uterine involution period and normal vulvar discharge lasting 8-10 weeks after whelping
- Subinvolution of placental sites (SIPS) should be suspected if vulvar discharge lasts for 12 weeks or more
- Emergency postpartum problems in canines include metritis and mastitis, leading to foul-smelling vaginal discharge and the need for supplemental hand-feeding of puppies
- Eclampsia (hypocalcemia) is an emergency postpartum problem in canines, more common in smaller breeds, with symptoms like tremors, excitation, hyperthermia, and convulsions
- Pyometra, a uterine infection, is a life-threatening emergency postpartum problem in canines, with symptoms like lethargy, depression, and vomiting
- Feline reproductive cycle is affected by long photoperiods, with most queens having estrous cycles during spring
- Estrus in queens is characterized by increased vocalization, rolling, lordosis posture, and anorexia, with no vulvar discharge
- Breeding is recommended after day 3 of estrus in queens, with LH released within minutes of copulation and multiple breedings recommended for pregnancy
- Gestation in queens lasts 63 days, with observable signs of pregnancy including increased size of teats, mammary enlargement, and weight gain
- Pregnancy diagnosis in queens can be done through abdominal palpation, ultrasound, and radiography at different stages of gestation
- Parturition in queens involves building nests, uterine contractions, fetal movements, lactational secretion, delivery of fetuses, and passing of placentas
- Dystocia in queens is not common and can be caused by fetal or maternal factors, requiring cesarean section if there is no progress within a reasonable time or if the queen or fetus is distressed.
