Description
Comprehensive, practical, and easy-to-read, this unique handbook
provides a clear guide to veterinary obstetrics in large and small
domestic animals. A detailed description of normal birth helps readers
immediately recognize abnormalities and provides a baseline against
which dystocia and its treatment can be measured. The causes of
dystocia encountered in each of the domestic species are described,
with notes on some exotic species. Coverage also discusses the
immediate care of the mother and offspring following delivery, as well
as problems that occur post-parturition.
