Abstract
The present work aimed to investigate incidence, applying some traditional and modern diagnostic aids as well as applying suitable treatments including medical therapy and surgical operations for the different reproductive disorders in bitches. Moreover, prognosis for the different interferences and their effects on the future reproduction of bitches were illustrated. The current study was carried out on 107 bitches, from 14 breeds with different ages, admitted to the clinic of Theriogenology department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University in addition to some private pet clinics. This research was conducted during the period between February 2017 and September 2018. Detailed diagnosis of the different reproductive disorders included clinical diagnosis, gynecological examination (ultrasonography, vaginal cytology, vaginoscopy), laboratory investigations (hematological examination, hormonal assay, estimation of C-reactive protein and Fibrinogen, estimation of tumor markers); microbial examination and pathological investigation (histopathology). The distribution of these diseases within the different breeds and varying ages was studied. Irrespective of the dog breeds, the results revealed that the highest incidences of reproductive affections were estimated for pyomerta (33.64%), vaginal hyperplasia (24.29%) and Transmissible venereal tumorTVT (18.69%).On the other hand, the least incidences were reported for ovarian, cervical and vaginal tumorsas well as vaginal septum (0.93 % for each of them). In this aspect, pyometra was diagnosed in most of the investigated breeds (8 out of 14) whereas vaginal hyperplasia and TVT were found in 7 out of 14 and 4 out of 14 studied breeds, respectively
