Stud dog infertility
Abstract
The first step in determining the cause of infertility in a stud dog is a complete medical and breeding history. Together with a thorough physical examination and semen evaluation, the problem can be narrowed down to a few specific causes. At this point, further diagnostic tests may be necessary, such as blood work, urinalysis, urine and semen cultures, ultrasound examination or even a testicular biopsy. Once a diagnosis has been made, treatment, management, and/or a specific breeding plan will have to be implemented to improve fertility.
