most common cause of infertility in canine breeding
breeding at the wrong time. breed every other day as long as bitch stands for natural mating. fresh canine semen lives 7-9 days
how does semen end up in the uterus
semen deposition intrauterine by help of a push from the prostatic fluid being deposited behind it. closer to site of fertilization, increases sperm longevity
heat bitch cycle
heat = estrus + proestrus. bitch has serosanguinous vulvar discharge in both phases.
canine diestrus
p4 dominant progesterone
anestrus canine
quiescene between cycles
canine ovulation
LH
P4 in canine
diestrus. pregnancy and non pregnancy.
canine cycle
estrogen causes vaginal celll wall to cornify and thicken, as well as mediates behavior changes. estrogen falls just prior to estrus and continues to fall. p4 rises before ovulation due to follicular pre-ovulatory lutienization. follicle produces p4 before a CL develops.
