In a
normal,
healthy uterus, the environment isn't susceptible to bacteria, but when the lining continues to thicken with every estrus, some
dogs will have a tendency to
produce cysts that can start to expel large amounts of fluid.
Be informed of and work diligently toward the elimination of hereditary health problems of the breed by refraining from breeding a
dog or bitch if they have, in 2 litters to different partners,
produced offspring with the same serious genetic defect, such as: blindness, deafness, PDA, lameness, or impairment of vital functions which prevent these offspring from living a
normal,
healthy life without major surgical or significant medical intervention.
It should be everyone's goal to
produce healthy offspring, but this is not possible if the only available health information is about
normal dogs and cats, but not abnormal
dogs and cats.
