Anestrus
The period of rest, no ovarian activity-
signs- no vaginal discharge - no vulvar swelling
Duration 2-10 months (51. months)
Anestrus Vaginal Cytology
Acellular
non-cornified squamous epi cells
No RBC's
Some Neutrophils
Proestrus
Preperation stage
Ovariam follicles start to produce estrogen
signs- attracts males but will not accept
swollen vulva
+/- bloody discharge
duration lasts 4-13 days average 9 days
Proestrus Vaginal Cytology
+/- RBC's
+/- WBC's
Some non cornified cells
More cornigied cells
Estrus
Standing Heat
Accepts Males
Most of the eggs are released within 24 hrs
after 5-6 days the errs are to old
signs- sowllen vulva
straw colored discharge
duration 4-13 days, average 9 days
Estrus Vaginal Cytlogy
80-90% cornigied epithelial cells
As this stage progresses, WBC's start to increase and RBC;s decrease
Diestrus(Metestrus)
Ovary now secretes progesterone
Formation of the corps luteum on the ovary
Progesterone peaks at day 15
most common time for pyometra(pus infection)
signs: female now refuses breeding - may see puss-like discharge from vulva
duration app 2 months
Diestrus Vagional Cytology
Increased WBC's, Decreased cornified cells increased non-cornified cells, +/- RBC's (pretty Rare)
Signs or Puberty in Male Dog
Usually occurs at 5-9 months of age
Lift leg when urinate
Marking
Aggressive
Seman Evaluation
Collection- aftificial vagina - manual stimulation
Criteria: color volume (ml) Motility Quantityy of sperm morphology
Pseudopregnancy
signs - enlarged mammary glands, restlessness, nesting, excitement, abdominal distention, mothering of inanimate objects, can lactate
treatment - animals recover on their own
Pre-Breeding Considerations
Vaccinations
Temperature of animal
line health - genetics
Brucellosis test
hip radiographs
eyes
teeth/bite
allergies, diabetes
Pregnancy
Gestation - 63-65 days from onset of estrus
Females health influences:
eggs that are ovulated
health of pups
pups ability to survive
Pregnancy
Diagnosis by palpation: 21-28 days
radiograph - 42 days - skeleton forms see skull and veterbrae
ultralound - 28 days
Breeding considerations
Breed prior t 4 yrs old
Breed once a year
Don't breed until 2nd heat (2yrs of age)
Skip every other heat for breeding
Parturition(birthing Process)
Nesting Stage (make bed)
Delivery Stage
Expulsion of the placenta
What Female does after Delivery
Lick and chew membrane surrounding pup
chew through the ambilical cord
allow pups to nurse
eat the placenta
Preparing for Delivery
Whelping box, towles and wash cloths, bulb syringe, hemostats, welping book, dopram(respiratory stimulant) dental floss or suture material, warming ox, puppy pads, emergency clinic number, scale, warming light(red), puppy charts, marker or nail polish
Human Intervention of pups
clean mucous from pups mouth
tie off cord rub vigorously
keep warm encourage to nurse(help latch)
stimulate urination and defication(wash cloth on hind end)
Dystocia
Uterine inertia
Psychological(gave up)
Pelvic abnormalities (head too big)
Over sized fetus (shoulders)
Dead fetus
Signs of Dystocia (difficult delivery)
No fetus after 24 hrs of labor
more than 2-4 hrs between pups
obvious toxemia in female (sick fever) foul smelling vaginal discharge
Cesarean Section
Done at the descretion of DVM
tools needed for pup -
Dopram
bulb for sucking
towels
tech for each pup
hemostat
Post Partum Problems of female
eclampsia (milk fever) low on calcium
signs - stiff gait, trembling or weakness, fever, seizures of convultions, dislated pupils, tachycardia
Eclampsia(Mild Fever)
treatment - adnimister calciumgluconate IV
hand feed pups
Prevention - calcium supplement
wean pups early- right after birth
Mastitis
signs- Swollen and hot mammary glands, hardened gland, inflamed and reddened, milk will appear clumpy and off color
Mother will have fever/pain
Mastitis treatment
antibiotics, flush mammary glands, warm compressions wean pups - prevention - Good Sanitation (bacteria in gland)
Feline Reproduction
Induced ovulators - need vaginal stimulation
ovulation is usually 24 hrs agter breeding
Seasonally polyestrus - spring and fall stronger heat
stops in the dead of winter
Feline Reproduction
Gestation -
length 63-65 days
Diagnosis -
palpate 16 to 30 days
XRay 45 days
Ultrasound 11-16, 16-32 for heartbeat
Paturition signs
Vulvar enlargement, vulvar mucus, nesting, milk in mammary glands 3 days befor birth, milk in nipples 24 hrs before delivery
Feline Reproduction
Delivery - problems are rare, kittens minutes to hrs to days apart
Signs of Dystocia (difficult delivery)
No fetus after 24 hrs of labor
more than 2-4 hrs between pups
