The influence of breed, age, size and parity of the bitches on the incidence of fetal resorption was analyzed in the present study. Nearly 56 percent of fetal resorption cases presented (n=64) were either in Labrador retriever or German per cent of all fetal resorption encountered was in brachycephalic breeds like Pug. The size of the breed was found to have a significant effect on the incidence of fetal resorption, the incidence being significantly higher in medium and large size breed. It was also observed that the incidence of the fetal resorption was highest in bitches aged 2-4 years and gradually declined with the advancing age. | Ultrasonographic diagnosis of fetal resorption in relation to age parity body condition and breed in bitches
