Prediction of Parturition Date in the Bitch and Queen

Abstract: Assessment of gestational age and parturition date prediction is a challenging, yet common task in clinical management of the pregnant bitch or queen. Knowing the approximate parturition date is essential for a thorough pregnancy monitoring. Radiographic and ultrasonographic methods are suitable in bitches and queens. In the bitch, moreover, ovulation timing by means of LH or progesterone assay, determination of onset of vaginal dioestrus by means of examination of vaginal cytology, and recognition of impendin… Show more

“…Prediction of the delivery date as accurately as possible is needed for proper timing of surgery and to prevent neonatal loss because of foetal immaturity caused by a pre‐term C‐section. The monitoring of foetal development with measurement of some specific structures, to plan in advance right surgery protocol or better puppies care after parturition, are important advantages for clinicians (Beccaglia & Luvoni, ; Michel, Spörri, Ohlerth, & Reichler, ). In miniature breeds, these problems are very prevalent.…”

“…This percentage was slightly higher than that shown in lambs and humans [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The major difficulty in identifying the DV in the early pregnancy depended on small size of the fetuses, while in late pregnancy on active fetal movements and maternal intolerance to the manipulation of the abdomen.…”

“…All bitches underwent an accurate reproductive cycle monitoring by vaginal cytology and plasma progesterone measurement in order to deduce the LH surge and the optimal time for mating [11,12]. Only bitches where the initial progesterone sample at proestrus was \2 ng/mL were included in the study.…”

“…Korzystając z tych informacji można także przewidzieć termin porodu, stosując wzory fetometryczne dopasowane do różnych ras i typów budowy (1,2,41). Stopień zaawansowania ciąży (wiek płodów) można też określić na podstawie badania radiologicznego, gdyż podczas mineralizacji szkieletu poszczególne jego elementy ujawniają się w rentgenogramie w przewidywalnym terminie (27,30).…”
