識別犬隻難產的緊急狀況
什麼是難產？
難產是指分娩困難或異常，可能會對母犬或幼犬的健康造成重大風險。這是獸醫常見的緊急情況，一般都需要立即介入，以確保母犬和幼犬的安全。
由於先天性生理限制，有些犬種出現難產的風險較高。例如︰法國鬥牛犬、波士頓爹利犬、芝娃娃、八哥以及老虎狗。但事實上任何品種的狗都有難產的可能。
難產的緊急情況
難產可通過以下一項或多項臨床症狀來識別：
- 滯產（分娩時間過長）︰如果分娩持續超過兩小時仍未生出幼犬，就是難產的症狀。
- 陰道分泌物異常︰綠色或惡臭的分泌物可能表示有問題。
- 子宮收縮乏力︰子宮無法正常收縮，常因荷爾蒙失衡或遺傳因素所致。
- 胎位不正︰幼犬在產道中位置不正確，可能導致阻塞性難產。
- 陰道出血
- 母犬精神不振、嗜睡 +/- 發燒（體溫 >39.4°C）
早期介入的重要性
早期識別與及時干預對保障母犬和幼犬的健康至關重要。延遲治療可能導致新生幼犬死亡率上升，增加母犬患上併發症的機會。若懷疑發生難產，請立即尋求獸醫協助，以提高救治母犬和幼犬的生存成功率。
Identifying Dystocia in Dogs as an Emergency
What is Dystocia?
Dystocia is defined as difficult or abnormal labor, which can pose significant health risks to both the dam (mother dog) and her puppies. It is a common emergency in veterinary practice, often requiring immediate intervention to ensure the safety of both mother and babies.
Certain breeds are at a higher risk of experiencing dystocia due to congenital physical limitations. These include French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Chihuahuas, Pugs, and Bulldogs. But any breed can experience dystocia.
Recognizing Dystocia as an Emergency
Dystocia can be identified by having one or more of the following clinical signs, including:
• Prolonged Labor: If labor lasts more than 2 hours without delivering a puppy, it is a sign of dystocia.
• Abnormal Vaginal Discharge: Green or foul-smelling discharge can indicate a problem.
• Uterine Inertia: The failure of the uterus to contract properly, often due to hormonal imbalances or genetic factors.
• Malpresentation of the Fetus: Puppies positioned incorrectly in the birth canal can cause obstructive dystocia.
• Bleeding from va**na
• Mother dog is depressed, lethargy +/- having fever (body temperature >39.4°C)
Importance of Early Intervention
Early recognition and intervention are critical to improving outcomes for both the mother and her puppies. Delayed treatment can lead to increased neonatal mortality and complications for the mother. If you suspect dystocia, seek immediate veterinary assistance to improve outcomes for your animal.
