Q

preferred submission sample to lab for abortion investigation of dog and cat

A

Submission of maternal serum and whole fetuses and placentae is preferred. If this is not feasible, a complete set of tissues for histopathology, bacteriology, mycoplasmology and virology should be collected. Specific requirements can be obtained from each laboratory.

A

placenta comes out with all puppies as a unit, mother eats placenta to break them out, licks puppies to stimulate them to pee and poo

all other herpes viruses cause FOP, but it dogs it causes neonatal mortality
