Ultrasound scanning isn’t only a viable option for human pregnancies – as with a human birth, canine ultrasound scanning can prove indispensable in determining complications with your bitch and her pups.
There are many conditions which can go ignored or overlooked throughout canine pregnancy. Above all, the prospect of “primary inertia” haunts many breeders – this occurs when your dam is carrying a single pup. A single pup is often not enough to stimulate the uterus of your bitch, leading to an unproductive labour.
The absence of stimulation to the uterus can ease contractions with fatal consequences: successful whelping is unlikely, as is the continued health and wellbeing of mum and pup.
Avoid this terrifying outcome with ultrasound scanning, a non-invasive procedure provided to all of our clientele throughout the North West of England. Through the use of sound waves, we can keep a close eye on your female and her wellbeing.
With constant evaluation of the development of your pups and their placenta, we can easily take the appropriate measures to ensure the successful whelping and continued health of your bitch. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information regarding our ultrasound technology.
