There are numerous genetic diseases influencing reproduction and periparturient care in dogs including such disorders as anasarca, cleft palate, swimmers, congenital heart disease, and the various conditions that cause excessive bleeding. It is probable that all breeds of dogs are at risk for these or other traits that influence whelping and neonatal care. Therefore, genetic counseling should be considered as an important aspect of prenatal and pediatric veterinary medicine.
有许多影响犬类繁殖和围产期护理的遗传疾病,包括全身性水肿、腭裂、“游泳者”综合征、先天性心脏病以及各种导致出血过多的病症。所有犬种都可能面临这些或其他影响分娩和新生犬护理的特征的风险。因此,遗传咨询应被视为产前和儿科兽医学的一个重要方面。
