Pregnancy and dysendocrinies/metabolic disorders in pets.

摘要

Little information is available in the literature concerning the compatibility of pregnancy and endocrine and/or metabolic disorders. The aim of this article is to review what to do when metabolic or endocrine disorders occur during pregnancy in dogs and cats. Hyperthyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism and hypoadrenocorticism are often responsible for infertility and abortions in cases of pregnancy. Eclampsia requires appropriate treatment which will continue for part of lactation. Hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus have to be taken care of throughout pregnancy in order to adapt treatment. Moreover, diabetes mellitus is hereditary; it is advisable to stop breeding dogs suffering from this disorder.
