The reproductive medicine service covers the veterinary fields of gynecology, andrology and neonatology.
During a gynecological consultation, a specialist diagnoses and treats diseases of the female reproductive system (ovaries, uterus, vagina, vulva, mammary gland). Additionally, Tierklinik Stuttgart Plieningen, Veterinary specialist hospital offers support in breeding management – ranging from determination of the optimal breeding time, insemination and clinical approach in case of infertility to pregnancy diagnosis and obstetrics.
Puppies and kittens are born after an average gestation time of 63 days. Afterwards their organ systems are still immature and thus, they are dependent on the dam for the first few weeks. They therefore belong to the group of so-called “altricial species”. In case of illness, they require a particularly rapid start of therapy and intensive care. For this purpose, newborn incubators from human medicine are available at Tierklinik Stuttgart Plieningen – Veterinary Specialist Hospital.
Veterinary andrology covers the diseases of the male reproductive organs (testicles, epididymis, scrotum, vas deferens, prostate, penis and prepuce). For breeders, we offer further investigation techniques, such as semen collection and examination for fertility assessment. Afterwards, if requested, canine semen freezing (cryopreservation) is available, too.
As a matter of course, we happily provide recommendations about pros and cons of neutering (castration) and discuss the possible options with you.
