Fig. 3-247 Transverse sonograms<br />

of the uterus of a 5-year-old female<br />

Basset Hound. The dog was being<br />

evaluated for pregnancy <strong>and</strong> was<br />

clinically normal. Sonograms were<br />

obtained at 23 days (A <strong>and</strong> B) <strong>and</strong> at<br />

30 days (C <strong>and</strong> D) postbreeding.<br />

Fluid is evident within the uterus at<br />

23 days <strong>and</strong> the fetus can be identified<br />

(arrows). A heart beat could be<br />

detected at this stage. At 30 days<br />

postbreeding, the size of the fetus has<br />

increased <strong>and</strong> the head <strong>and</strong> limb<br />

buds are visible. Diagnosis: Normal<br />

pregnancy.<br />
