Abstract

Fetal hydrops is a disorder characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluid in the extravascular space of the fetus, causing generalized edema in subcutaneous tissue and fluid buildup in the cavities. This condition causes excessive increase in the size of the fetus resulting in obstructive dystocia during delivery. Brachycephalic dogs as the French Bulldog have a higher prevalence in cases of fetal hydrops, which results in increased fetal loss and cesarean rates. It aims to report a case of fetal hydrops in a French Bulldog breed of dog neonates treated at a private clinic in the city of Teresina-PI.
