Description
False pregnancy is an important reproductive defect in female dogs, because false pregnancy not only causes economic loss, but more importantly, it causes uterine disorders in female dogs. After mating, determine the pregnancy or not as early as possible, in order to strengthen the feeding management of the pregnant ones, and find out the reasons for the non-pregnant ones, make up the mating in time or carry out the necessary treatment.
Hazards of false pregnancy in bitches
The duration of pseudo-pregnancy is basically the same as the normal breeding cycle, i.e., it takes about two months of “gestation” and one month of “lactation”, after which it can enter the normal oestrus stage with the possibility of self-cure. At present, in the breeding practice, false pregnant dogs can enter the next normal oestrus cycle only a minority of untreated, and most of the uterine disease, or cause difficult pregnancy, to the dog breeder to bring losses. A serious consequence of pseudopregnancy is that it predisposes the bitch to uterine cystic-uterine pus syndrome. It is currently the second most common obstetric disease in dogs after obstructed labour.
