Description
Summary:Reproductive emergencies frequently occur in routine clinical care for small animals. Dystocia, a reproductive pathology classified as the difficulty in expelling the fetus through the birth canal, is the most common condition in dogs, due to the physiological and anatomical particularities of the species, with its etiology having a wide scope of possibilities, ranging from maternal to fetal, or both. In this work, a literature review and a case report of maternal dystocia in a female dog are presented, seeking to contribute to the literature on the subject, given the importance of this information in the areas of emergency and clinical surgery for dogs and cats, due to the high occurrence of cases in routine veterinary clinics.
