The Importance of Pre- and Post-Whelping Ultrasound Scans
Ultrasound scans are essential in managing the health and welfare of breeding dogs. Here’s why:
Pre-Whelping Scans: Confirm pregnancy, estimate the number of puppies, and monitor fetal development. This helps in planning and preparing for the whelping process.
Detecting Complications: Early detection of issues such as reabsorbed fetuses or developmental abnormalities can be addressed promptly.
Post-Whelping Scans: Ensure all puppies have been delivered and identify any retained placentas or post-whelping complications.
Peace of Mind: Provides breeders with the reassurance that both the dam and puppies are healthy and progressing well.
At Moorsbarrow Hall Farm Gundogs, we use ultrasound scans as a part of our comprehensive care plan to ensure the best outcomes for our breeding dogs and their litters.
