Normal (eutocic) parturition (delivery) in dogs and cats
The objective of this article is to give you information justified by scientific and statistical data, as well as the practice of our specialized breeding center (CRECS), and those reported by the breeders we have been following for more than 20 years.

Potentially abnormal parturition (or dystocia): knowing how to recognize and manage it
Knowing how to recognize a dystocia is first and foremost about controlling the conditions of a "normal" birth: date, duration, etc.
Key steps in managing an apparently "difficult" birth are: a comprehensive collection of memorials, clinical evaluation of the bitch and her fetuses, and the importance of litter survival to the owner..

Ovariectomy or ovario-hysterectomy: a clear choice to be “reasoned”.
The genital system of domestic carnivores, although similar to that of other mammals (vagina, uterus, oviducts and ovaries), has features that increase the prevalence of uterine pathologies:
- the uterus is much larger (very long bodies and uterine horns) in dogs and cats than in women,
- the uterus is subjected to repeated progesterone impregnation during sexual cycles (especially in the bitch who has a 2-month progesterone impregnation, systematic after each heat)

Postpartum uterine pathology: metritis, bleeding, SIPS, prolapse
Introduction
The postpartum period corresponds to the period of physiological involution of the female's reproductive organs. It lasts about 3 to 5 weeks after birth.

Urinary incontinence related to the castration of the bitch and the dog
Post-castration incontinence is the clinical manifestation of incontinence (involuntary urination) within weeks to years of removal of sexual gonads, without any other associated lower urinary tract abnormalities (lithiasis, neoplasia, infection, malformation, etc).

Induction of fertile heat in bitches
The bitch has one to two heat cycles per year. The duration of the anestrus seems to have, in part, a genetic basis (race- and animal-dependent).
The involution of the endometrium (histological) is not complete until 5 months after estrus, whether the bitch was pregnant or not. The heat induced in the 4 months post-metostrus is less fertile than normal

Infertility in females (bitch and cat): mating failure/insemination, non-pregnancy, early termination of pregnancy, late abortion
Infertility is broadly defined as a repeated failure (at least two attempts) to reproduce:
- refusal of service,
- absence of fertilization,
- failure of embryonic implantation,
- stopping of gestation not visible (<30 days post-production),
- often visible abortion (> 30 days post-delay).

Insemination in bitches: intra-vaginal and intra-uterine
We will detail the different insemination methods, the ideal number of inseminations, and the optimal time to inseminate.

Luteal insufficiency (pregnancy hypo-progesteronemia) in dogs
Defintion
Insufficient progesterone secretion during gestation that can lead to early (resorption) and late (abortion) abortion.
Luteal insufficiency is very largely over-diagnosed and bitches are over-treated.
In our breeding centre (CRECS), where we have been following hundreds of bitches per year for more than 20 years, we confirm the suspected luteal deficiencies only in a very limited number of cases! Nevertheless, this pathology exists and must be detected early!
