Hormonal, Electrolytic, and Electrocardiographic Evaluations in Bitches With Eutocia and Dystocia

The objective of the study was to assess clinical alterations, electrocardiographic, hematological, biochemical, hemogasometric, electrolytic, and hormone plasma concentrations in bitches with eutocia and dystocia. Overall, 28 bitches (dystocia, n = 22 and eutocia, n = 6) were assessed. The evaluations were performed at 2 time points, M1 (1 hour prepartum —eutocia group and cesarean or clinical intervention—dystocia group) and M2 (postpartum—eutocia or dystocia group and anesthetic recovery—dystocia group).
