Parturition in dogs is subjected to complex hormonal regulation, with the involvement of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) still not fully understood. To investigate uterine inertia (UI), the most prevalent maternal reason for dystocia in the bitch, a better understanding of undisturbed uterine, especially myometrial function, is crucial. Our aim was to gain deeper insights into the role of PGF2α in the canine parturient myometrium.

In pregnant bitches, the response to oxytocin and denaverine hydrochloride in dystocia management is usually poor. To better understand the effect of both drugs on myometrial contractility, the circular and longitudinal muscle layers were examined in an organ bath. For each layer, three myometrial strips were stimulated twice, each with one of three oxytocin concentrations.

An altered oxytocin and progesterone receptor ( and , respectively) expression was postulated in canine uterine inertia (UI), which is the lack of functional myometrial contractions. and expressions were compared in uterine tissue obtained during C-section due to primary UI (PUI; = 12) and obstructive dystocia (OD, = 8). In PUI, the influence of litter size was studied (small/normal/large litter: PUI-S/N/L: = 5/4/3).
