Abstract

 

The incidence of dystocia in companion animals is relatively low compared to other farm animals, however when dystocia  occurs it needs immediate intervention. The present report is a case about successful management of caesarean section in  a Chihuahua dog that suffered from dystocia due to fetal hydrocephalus.
