Abstract

Reproductive emergencies are a common presentation in small animal practice. Diseases of the reproductive tract in males and non-pregnant females often carry a favourable prognosis if treated appropriately. Neonatal disease often carries a much poorer prognosis; however, timely veterinary intervention coupled with knowledge of the differing physiological requirements of neonatal puppies and kittens is often enough to ensure survival.
