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.
