dc.description.abstract | There is a broad aspect of infectious and non-infectious causes that induce pregnancy
disorders and problems for newly born puppies. There is an infinite line of possibilities
in both categories, though, throughout this review the most common causes will be
mentioned. The infectious causes range from bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses.
Understanding their pathogenicity and epidemiology will further broaden our knowledge
about the disease helping us to create better guidelines for treatment, management and
preventative measures. Non-infectious causes (endocrine, nutritional deficiencies,
trauma, drugs, congenital and genetic disorders, etc.) are individually evaluated for the
prognosis and possible impact on future pregnancies. | en_US |
