Term
3 Stages of Partuition
Definition
  1. Signs of delivery
  2. passing of Fetus
  3. passing of placenta
Term
Signs of Partuition in Dogs, Pigs, Cows, and Mares
Definition
  1. show signs of delivery
  2. passing of fetus
  3. passing of placenta
Term
Correction of Dystocia in Dogs
Definition
If puppies are too large do a C-section
Term
Correction of Dystocia in Pigs
Definition
pigs can't come out and then pig stops contractions, do C-sections
Term
Corrction of Dystocia in Cows
Definition
If calf is too large or body parts are retained, can do C-section of left flank
Term
Retained placenta in dogs
Definition
  1. Signs - puppes are swollen and crying, cold and dying puppies, female has fever and swollen mammory glands
  2. Treatment - remove puppies from mother and supplement, treat mother with anibiotics and clear up invection then might be able to put puppies back
Term
Retained Placenta in Pigs
Definition
  1. Signs - have MMA and pigs dying from toxic milk
  2. Treatment - antibiotics and oxytocin
Term
Retained Placenta in Cows
Definition
  1. Signs - placenta retained over 72 hours
  2. Treatment - Prostaglandin or oxytocin or estrogen to cause uterine contractions (depends of prefernce of Vet).

         Best Way - uterine infusion - large quantities of water with antibiotics that makes uterus contract.  Use 1-2 gallons.

Term
Retained Placenta in Mares
Definition
  1. Signs - pathalogic at 4 hrs. can colic or founder
  2. Treatment - IV drip of oxytocin
Term
Causes of Retained Placenta
Definition
  1. Difficult Births
  2. Multiple births (in one fetus animals)
  3. Disease
Term
uterine Prolapse in Cows
Definition
Uterus comes to the outside after a difficult birth.  Push back in
Term
Vaginal Prolapse in Cows
Definition
*inherited disorder*  caused by weak ligaments in vagina
1st sign: see red bulge out of vulva when laying down
2nd sign: sticks out all of the time

Push back in and suture
