Obstetrics and Care

As a veterinary reproduction specialist, I've seen firsthand the importance of proper obstetrics care. Exams prior to breeding can help prepare for a safe and healthy breeding outcome.

Pre-breeding exams can identify potential issues and allow for necessary interventions, reducing the risk of complications during pregnancy and birth. Monitoring the dam during her pregnancy and until time of birth will increase live births.

Proper care during pregnancy can also minimize issues with the dam and increase the survival of neonates during the first week of life. Regular check-ups can help identify any potential problems early on, allowing for prompt treatment.

By taking a proactive approach to obstetrics care, pet owners and veterinarians can work together to ensure a healthy and successful breeding outcome.
