Preface

•
This book reflects our commitment to reproductive health of the dog and cat.
The theriogenologist fulfills the charge of the Veterinarian's Oath to protect ani
mal health and relieve animal suffering by learning normal reproductive phys
iology, understanding pathogenesis and treatment of reproductive disease,
promoting sound reproduction in some patients and preventing reproduction
safely in others. We are as committed to addressing the pet overpopulation
problem in the United States with safe, effective contraception, as we are to fur
thering the understanding ;)f how to improve and enhance reproductive per
formance. While promoting an expanded knowledge of normal reproductive
physiology (learning from our patients), we also applaud advances in assisted
reproduction (learning from our colleagues) with procedures such as artificial
insemination with chilled and frozen semen, trans-cervical insemination,
gamete cryopreservation, and in-vitro fertilization. We believe that every
puppy and kitten born should have the best health, the best care, and the best
opportunity for a good life, and are proud to be part of a profession that works
to those ends.
