Breeding & Reproductive

Reproductive Health for your Pet

Clarksville Animal Hospital offers pet maternity services, including vaginal cytology and cesarean sections. Call our office at (812) 288-7999 to learn more about our pet breeding services.

Vaginal Cytology



Vaginal cytology helps to conclude optimal time for breeding to enhance the chances of pregnancy. Clarksville Animal Hospital has the ability to perform vaginal cytology on female dogs. This process requires taking multiple swabs of the dog's vaginal cells and analyze them under a microscope. 

Before your dog has her estrus cycle, our veterinarian will need to run additional tests, including a thyroid analysis. The tests we perform at Clarksville Animal Hospital can rule out any potential complications. They can also alert us to issues that we would need to address before we start any of the breeding processes.

Call Clarksville Animal Hospital today at (812) 288-7999 to schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians. We can't wait to discuss how we can further assist you with our breeding program.

Caesarian Section



Most mothers can give birth without any help or complication. However, occasionally, they will need help with delivery. If a problem arises, we attempt to resolve it using medical therapy first. If medical therapy does not resolve the issue, we will perform a caesarian section or c-section on the mother.

During a c-section, we administer an anesthetic to the mother. Then our veterinarian will make an incision along her abdomen, through the uterus to retrieve unborn puppies or kittens. If you would like, we can go ahead and spay the mother during this procedure to prevent future problems like this.
