Prostate pathologies are common in dogs and cause different clinical manifestations ranging from infertility to sepsis (Smith et al., 2008; Lévy et al. 2014). A retrospective study of 177 dogs showed that prostate disease is responsible for about 3% of whole male dogs seen by a veterinarian.
Semen evaluation is essential for the evaluation of male fertility at the time of insemination and the semen storage process ( chilled and frozen semen).
The improvement of fertility results with frozen semen and its "practicality" leads to its population in canine husbandry in the coming years.
The majority of inseminations performed by veterinarians are performed with freshly collected semen (> 70%).
Refrigerated semen is increasingly used for insemination in France (and Europe).
It is a highly contagious haemorrhagic gastroenteritis, with systemic repercussions, caused by canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2), a naked virus that is highly resistant in the environment (several months).
From the wild virus CPV-2, 3 subtypes are now isolated: CPV 2a, 2b and 2c.
Contamination is carried out by the fecal-oral route.
Il s’agit d’une déformation de la portion cartilagineuse des côtes et du sternum à l’origine d’un rétrécissement dorsoventral du thorax.
Cette affection peut rester totalement asymptomatique mais est parfois associée à des dysfonctionnements respiratoires et/ou cardiovasculaires sévères.
Les races canines brachycéphales et les chats de race Burmese sont prédisposés.
It is a highly contagious respiratory disease, frequently encountered in dogs, especially young dogs, with significant morbidity but low mortality.
The main etiological agents involved are: Bordetella bronchiseptica, canine parainfluenza virus, canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine herpesvirus, and canine reovirus.
Transmission is mainly through aerosols. This is not an unacceptable defect.
