obstetrical trauma

24
Q

when should you give prostaglandins?

A

luteal regression/cystic
metritis
therapeutic abortion or induction

25
Q

what induces ovulation?

A

cervical stimulation
ovulation-inducing factor

26
Q

when does ovulation occur?

A

24-30 hours post copulation

27
Q

what size is a regressing follicle?

A

10-7mm

28
Q

how long is gestation?

A

335-350 days
can be >365 days

29
Q

how long is stage I of labor?

A

<6 hours

30
Q

when are 80% of camelids born?

A

6am-1pm

31
Q

how long is stage III of labor?

45 mins-3 hours

32
Q

when is the uterus back to normal size?

A

day 21

33
Q

when should you rebreed postpartum?

A

14-21 days
can ovulate 2-3 weeks postpartum with good conception rates (worse if <14 days and >3o days)

34
Q

what should you do if she is not receptive a week after being bred?

A

test again in a week: if still not receptive, probably pregnant

35
Q

what is progesterone like in a pregnant camelid?

A

> 1-2 ng/ml
if <1 ng/ml, not pregnant
more “open” test than pregnancy test- not specific to pregnancy

36
Q

who is pregnancy specific protein B useful in for diagnosing pregnancy?

A

not camelids
cattle, sheep, goats

37
Q

when is the embryo visible in most in transrectal ultrasound?

A

day 22+
heartbeat by day 24+

38
Q

when can you diagnose pregnancy with transabdominal ultrasound?

A

35-45 days
mid to late term difficult to see- not a lot of fluid

39
Q

when are uterine torsions common?

A

2-6 weeks prior to due date

40
Q

what can you give to induce parturition?

A

fluprostenol: live cria
dexamethasone: dead cria

41
Q

how can you diagnose uterine torsion?

Q

how common is ovulation failure?

A

10%

45
Q

how can you treat ovulation failure?

A

GnRH or hCG at time of breeding
do not rebreed within 48 hours: increase risk trauma

synchronize follicular wave?
maintain pregnancy in female with luteal insufficiency

53
