“…For the early detection of the first signs of any emerging abnormality, the fundamental factor is conducting examinations and observing the pregnant bitch. Regular ultrasound and electrocardiographic monitoring enable rapid diagnosis of abnormalities, which, in turn, increases the chance of effective implementation of therapeutic measures [ 5 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 84 ]. This is especially true in the case of potential perinatal complications, because the impact of delivery on pup viability should always be kept in mind.…”

“…Differences were also reported in the blood flow of the uterine and umbilical arteries in small, medium, and large breeds of dogs during the second half of pregnancy. Conversely, during this same period, FHR did not vary between small, medium, and large breeds [ 80 ]. This indicates that physiological variations should also be considered when a gestational ultrasound is interpreted in different breeds of dogs.…”

The perinatal period has a critical impact on viability of the newborns. The variety of factors that can potentially affect the health of a litter during pregnancy, birth, and the first weeks of life requires proper attention from both the breeder and the veterinarian. The health status of puppies can be influenced by various maternal factors, including breed characteristics, anatomy, quality of nutrition, delivery assistance, neonatal care, and environmental or infectious agents encountered during pregnancy. Regular examinations and pregnancy monitoring are key tools for early detection of signals that can indicate disorders even before clinical signs occur. Early detection significantly increases the chances of puppies’ survival and proper development. The purpose of the review was to summarize and discuss the complex interactions between all elements that, throughout pregnancy and the first days of life, have a tangible impact on the subsequent fate of the offspring. Many of these components continue to pose challenges in veterinary neonatology; thus, publications presenting the current state of knowledge in this field are in demand.

Estimating the parturition date in dogs is challenging due to their reproductive peculiarities that. Ultrasonographic examination serves as a tool for studying embryo/foetal biometry and estimating the time of parturition by measuring foetal and extra‐foetal structures. However, due to reproductive differences among various dog breeds, such estimates may have a non‐significant pattern, representing inaccuracies in the estimated date of birth. This study aimed to monitor pregnant Toy Poodle bitches and establish relationships between ultrasonographically measured foetal and extra‐foetal dimensions and the remaining time until parturition. Eighteen pregnant Toy Poodle bitches were subjected to weekly ultrasonographic evaluations and measurements of the inner chorionic cavity diameter, craniocaudal length (CCL), biparietal diameter (BPD), diameter of the deep portion of diencephalo‐telencephalic vesicle (DPTV), abdominal diameter, thorax diameter (TXD), placental thickness and the renal diameter (REND). These parameters were retrospectively correlated with the date of parturition and linear regressions were established between gestational measurements and days before parturition (DBP). All analyses were conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM® SPSS®) program at a 5% significance level. The foetal measurements that showed a high correlation (r) and reliability (R2) with DBP were BPD [(DBP = [15.538 × BPD] − 39.756), r = .97 and R2 = .93], TXD [(DBP = [8.933 × TXD] − 32.487), r = .94 and R2 = .89], DPTV [(DBP = [34.580 × DPTV] − 39.403), r = .93 and R2 = .86] and REND [(DBP = [13.735 × REND] − 28.937), r = .91 and R2 = .82]. This statistically validates the application of these specific formulas to estimate the parturition date in Toy Poodle bitches.
