Pregnancy diagnosis
|
-
The clinical signs of pregnancy appear in a bitch at about 25-30 days post-mating.
-
The common signs are loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting tendency and depraved appetite.
-
After 5 weeks post-mating there is significant increase in the appetite of the bitch and she will eat more food.
-
It is rather difficult to diagnose the pregnancy between 30 and 45 days of gestation period due to the amniotic fluid surrounding the foetuses.
-
During the last two weeks of gestation foetuses can be easily palpated.
-
Radiography can also be used in this period to know the number of developing foestuses in the uterine horns.
