“…The kidneys mature ultrasonographically as the pregnancy progresses, initially being hypoechoic compared to other abdominal contents and having prominent anechoic pelves (Figure 5a) (Concannon, 2000; Gil et al, 2018; Nyland & Mattoon, 2002; Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022; Yeager et al, 1992). The renal cortex is differentiated from the medulla as maturation continues and the pelves are less dilated (Gil et al, 2018; Nyland & Mattoon, 2002; Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022). The renal cortex thins while the medulla and renal pelvis become increasingly prominent until term (Figure 5b) (Gil et al, 2018; Nyland & Mattoon, 2002).…”

“…The renal cortex thins while the medulla and renal pelvis become increasingly prominent until term (Figure 5b) (Gil et al, 2018; Nyland & Mattoon, 2002). Foetal kidney development can be divided into four distinct phases based on gestational age starting between 39 and 43 days gestational age (Gil et al, 2018; Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022). Period 1 is from 20 to 24 DPP (days prior to parturition); Period 2 is 16–20 DPP; Period 3 is 11–15 DPP; Period 4 is 1–5 DPP.…”

“…Kidney length should be measured in a longitudinal scan at the point of greatest kidney length of one kidney (Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022). Cortical and medullary measurements should be taken on midline of the kidney length in a longitudinal scan at the same location where length measurements are taken (Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022).…”

“…In the term foetus the surface mucosa is hyperechoic, the mucosa, submucosa and muscle are hypoechoic and the serosa is hyperechoic (Gil, Garcia, Giannico, & Froes, 2015; Milani et al, 2020; Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022). Peristalsis becomes easily visible and more and more consistent between 62 and 64 days (Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022). There are four stages of intestinal development, starting at 39 days gestational age (Gil, Garcia, & Froes, 2015).…”

“…It may be easier to see peristalsis in smaller breeds of dogs (Gil, Garcia, & Froes, 2015; Siena, Corrò, et al, 2022; Siena, di Nardo, et al, 2022; Siena, Romagnoli, et al, 2022). Not all foetuses in a litter may display peristalsis at the same time (Milani et al, 2020).…”

Ultrasonography can be used for canine pregnancy diagnosis, determination of gestational age, assessing foetal maturation and readiness for birth, monitoring high‐risk pregnancies, assessing foetal distress, evaluating bitches in dystocia and foetal gender determination. As the quality and resolution of ultrasound machines have improved, the clinician's abilities to utilize ultrasound as an integral part of reproductive evaluation of all aspects of pregnancy have exponentially increased. This paper reviews the use of ultrasonography throughout pregnancy and the advances made in the interpretation of captured images.

Background Hydrops fetalis (HF) is fluid accumulation in fetus body cavities and subcutaneous tissue. The condition has been described in various farm and companion animal species, including dogs. Most of cases result from a heart defect. Exact nature of this defect is rarely clarified. Case presentation A newborn, male French bulldog puppy with severe HF underwent a full anatomopathological examination to diagnose the primary cause of HF. Based on the anatomopathological examination, fetal ultrasound, and micro-computed tomography, transposition of the great arteries with hypoplasia of the ascending aorta, aortic arch interruption, ostium secundum atrial septal defect, severe tricuspid valve dysplasia, as well as hypoplasia of pulmonary vessels and lungs were diagnosed. Conclusions This is the first report of HF caused by severe, complex congenital heart defects with concurrent pulmonary vessel and lung hypoplasia.

La hidropesía fetal o edema congénito, se caracteriza por una excesiva acumulación de fluidos subcutáneoscon o sin presencia de efusión torácica y abdominal. Se estudiaron 34 hembras (13 de bulldog inglés, 9 deBulldog francés y 12 American Bully) con un total de 173 cachorros nacidos. Todas las hembras fueronmonitoreadas desde el servicio y fueron sometidas a cesárea programada 56 días después del primer día deldiestro citológico. En 3 camadas de Bulldog Francés, 5 camadas de Bulldog Inglés y 2 camadas deAmerican Bully se registraron nacimientos de cachorros con anasarca. Los grados de anasarca observadososcilaron desde grados severos hasta leves. Todos los cachorros nacidos con anasarca murieron dentro delas 2 hs de nacidos. Nuestros resultados sugieren que el factor hereditario se encuentra presente. Sinembargo, se necesitan más estudios para clarificar la heredabilidad del problema mediante la identificaciónde los genes involucrados en las líneas familiares que producen cachorros con anasarca1.
