This is a guide to the various conditions which affect the process of reproduction in dogs and bitches. The book considers all aspects of the physiology, anatomy and endocrinology of the male and female reproductive system, followed by a discussion of mating, pregnancy and parturition. Later chapters describe problems, such as anatomical abnormalities, abnormal physiology and endocrinology, intersexuality, infertility, contraception and surgical procedures. Fully updated to include recent research and developments, new sections include: ultrasonographic examination of the male and female reproductive tract; pregnancy diagnosis; diseases of the prostate gland; semen preservation and artificial insemination; and the pharmacological control of reproduction.
