Abstract
Present study investigated the prevalence, diagnosis and therapeutic management
of reproductive tract ailments in a total of two hundred eighty-three (n=283) dogs.
The cases were categorized on basis of age, parity, breed and season,
respectively.
Gestational disorders (22.3%) followed by neoplasia (13.4%), infections (10.9%)
and hormonal (6.4%) disorders were preponderant reproductive tract ailments. The
highest prevalence of reproductive tract ailments was observed in young ( 5yr, 58.3%), nulliparous (54.1%) and larger breeds (45.8%)
during winters (58.3%) which were diagnosed using ultrasonography with an
efficiency of 95.83 per cent. Escherichia coli (62.5%) was the primary bacterial
isolate from purulent vaginal discharge of pyometra infected bitches with highest
susceptibility for enrofloxacin (85.71%) followed by gentamicin (76.19%) and
ceftriaxone (61.90%), respectively. Transmissible Venereal Tumour was
preponderant in adult (63.1%), medium sized breeds (68.4%), bitches (52.6%)
during monsoon season (52.6%) which were successfully managed
chemotherapeutically (89.47%). Operative procedures for diagnostic and
therapeutic management of major reproductive tract ailments were formulated and
successfully applied during present study.
