Abstract
In the clinical assistance of canine reproduction, ultrasonography has been used for the diagnosis of pregnancy (Bondestam et al. 1983, 1984; Tainturier. 1984; Taverne et al. 1985; Shille et al. 1985), the prediction of littersize (Bondestam et al. 1984; Toal et al. 1986), the diagnosis of uterine pathology (Poffenbarger and Feeney 1986; Komarek 1986), the assessment of fetal viability in cases of threatened abortion, prolonged gestation and prior to caesarean section (Shille et al. 1985) and for the detection of ovulation (Inaba 1984).
