Reproduction/Obstetrics

The Reproduction/Obstetrics evaluation allows to discard several pathologies of the reproductive system and enlighten owners to the main occurrences that may come up in this area, as well as enlighten about reproduction, being it natural or artificial insemination.

 

Reproductive pathologies may become very complicated if not assisted in a timely manner.

 

Pathologies such as uterine infections (Pyometra) can lead to death if not operated on in time, as they may cause sepsis. We strongly advise to an early Ovariohisterectomy (female spaying), as it will rule out the possibility of pathologies of the female reproductive tract as well as prevent the appearance of mammary gland tumours, rarely benign.

 

Giving birth by caesarean section is often the only solution for some birth labour complications, and it is crucial to be performed in time, for the mother and babies’ sake. Routine ultrasound examination allows the evaluation of the gestational stage and collecting information about fetal health, preventing some complications.

 

Male reproductive tract is of equal importance. Prostatic infections often occur as an emergency situation. Prostate gland may present itself with other pathologies such as tumours, benign hyperplasia or cysts.

 

Testicular neoplasia is also common with a higher incidence in patients with intra-abdominal or sub-cutaneous testicles. In such cases an early spay is advised.

 

Testicular infections and torsions are extremely painful and its treatment is urgent.
