Is the biparietal diameter of fetuses in late gestation too variable to predict readiness for cesarean section in dogs?

The objectives of this study were to determine whether fetal biparietal diameter in late gestation in the dog could be used to predict readiness for cesarean section by having reached a minimum cut-off value and to correlate the biparietal diameter to birth weight.
