| description | This study aimed to evaluate the combined thickness of uterus and placenta, foetal heart
rate and serum progesterone concentration in prepartum bitches. Eighteen pregnant female dogs
in the last week of gestation were subjected to ultrasonographic examination and progesterone
assay to evaluate changes prior to impending whelping. No significant difference was found in the
combined thickness of uterus and placenta measurements in the last week of gestation. However,
foetal heart rate showed oscillations and progesterone declined 12h prior to whelping. |
