Aerobic Isolates from Gestational and Non-Gestational Lactating Bitches ( Canis lupus familiaris )
Mastitis is a complex and well-defined mammary gland pathology, and an emergency in bitches. In dogs, its prevalence is about 1% of all reported diseases and about 5.3% of all reproductive pathologies. Lactating bitches are naturally prone to developing mastitis since puppies can easily overstimulat...
