ABSTRACT

This paper reports a case of a bitch diagnosed with polyhidrammnio by ultrasonography due to fetalintestinal atresia in the third trimester of pregnancy. The flow in umbilical artery presented parabolic profile,high strength, measured at 27,5cm/s and 0.69 resistance index (RI), counteracting to normal between 54,3cm/sand RI=0,34cm/s. It was verified duodenal‘s peristalsis and gastric dilatation and proximal duodenal dilatation.A high resistivity was measured, this is indicative of suffering and fetal hypoxia thats why surgery withstabilized bitch was indicated.(AU)
