What is Dystocia ?
we try search at google and found some information about Dystocia, According to a source Dystocia mean difficult birth, and though cats sometimes require professional assistance to deliver kittens, or a C-section surgery, the general trend is for them to have very high success rates on their own.

A runt or dead kitten is not unusual to find within a normal litter, so this should not be a cause for concern, though the runt may require some extra care to help it “catch up” to its siblings.

Here’s we found images about Dystocia in a cat

Tracheal Collapse in Toy Breeds

By pet-admin, September 28, 2007 3:00 pm

tracheal-collapse.jpg

Overview

Tracheal Collapse is a cartilage defect that may be hereditary. The trachea or windpipe is a rigid tube that connects the nose, mouth and throat to the lungs. Muscle connects the group of cartilage rings that form a C shape. Weak cartilage can make the C cartilage flatten. With a loss of curvature, the tracheal becomes loose and the membrane moves. As air enters into the chest, the membrane of intrathoracic trachea bloats outward. As air rushes out, the membrane droops in the C cartilage. The result is a tickling of the membrane that leads to coughing. With the collapse of the trachea, air cannot move in the obstructed airway. If the neck has abnormal tracheal rings, collapse often occurs during inhaling; if the chest has abnormal tracheal rings, the tracheal collapse usually occurs during expiration. The tracheal collapse may occur along the entire length. Especially serious is where the trachea enters the chest.

This dog Powerful and massive, the Caucasian Ovcharka can prove to be a serious problem for an inexperienced owner, because it respects and obeys only those dominant members of the family that it deems superior to itself. They are generally good with children, but will not see them as their masters. The dog develops a strong bond with its owner, but will rarely be completely submissive and blindly follow orders, for this is truly a thinking dog which relies primarily on its own instincts, sometimes even disregarding its master’s directions in certain situations. A breed with a very quick reaction time and lightning-fast protection reflexes, it has even been unfairly described by some as somewhat of a “loose cannon”. Still, with proper care, handling and training, this is a well-behaved and obedient family companion.
