Canine Breeding Management for Vet Nurses

The presentation will commence with a description of clinically relevant aspects of canine reproductive structure and function. Methods of cycle tracking in the bitch will be described to help inform the ideal timing of insemination, whether that be by natural breeding, fresh vaginal AI, fresh-chilled semen, or frozen semen. Finally, there will be an introduction to techniques for pregnancy diagnosis, and the timing of elective caesareans. 

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.

Caesarean Section - tips for success

Caesarean sections are one of the most common emergency surgeries performed, and it can be a stressful time for owner, clinical team and patient! This presentation will look at how we can maximize the outcome of the procedure for both mum and offspring. Dystocia can occur for a number of reasons, so appreciating what's normal in pregnancy and labour in the bitch, will help us to spot the cases where we need to intervene either medically or surgically. A brief over-view of normal parturition will be followed by a closer look at how we can focus on patient preparation, anaesthesia, surgical technique and neonate care to improve our chances of a successful result in these rewarding cases.

Here we review the medical and surgical options available for this disease.
