26
What are infectious causes of embryonic/fetal loss
``` Lepto Chamydophila Neosporosis Toxoplasmosis Listeriosis A. Pyogenes Ascending placentitis ```
27
What are periparturient problems
Uterine torsion Dystocia Retained fetal membranes
28
When do most uterine torsions occur
After 335 day of gestaion
29
How to diagnose uterine torsion
Vaginal speculum exam- if torsion is caudal to the cervix Palpation per rectum to feel deviation of broad ligament
30
Main causes of dystocia
Lateral flexion of head | Posterior presentation and dorsopubic position
31
When should you intervene
If stage 1 lasts more than 6 hours | If stage 2 lasts more than 2 hours
32
Talk about RFM in camelids
Rarely clinically significant | Can administer oxytocin and uterine lavage
