Problems with breeding of dogs and cats and the complications of
whelping and kittening are commonly dealt with by veterinary surgeons
in practice. Success depends on a full appreciation of the normal
events involved in reproduction, and the problems that may arise. The
international contributors of this book describe the normal
physiological basis of fertility and reproduction, and the approach to
problems seen in practice.
Male
and female infertility in the dog and cat are fully discussed, along
with mating and the techniques of artificial insemination in both
species. Sections on pregnancy, parturition and dystocia are followed
by a detailed guide to the all-important care of the neonate, with
considerations of congential problems and the role of infectious
diseases and vaccination in young puppies and kittens. Comprehensive
sections on drug therapy and surgery for reproductive problems in the
dog and cat are included.
