Perinatal deaths including abortions, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths are an important economic and emotional challenge for companion animal owners, breeders, and veterinarians. A protocol for the investigation of perinatal deaths in dogs and cats is described, including examination of the placenta. Specific lesions of common infectious diseases leading to perinatal death are presented, as well as the more prevalent noninfectious causes. These include viruses, bacteria, protozoa, metabolic causes, "accidents of pregnancy," nutritional deficiencies, intoxications, hormonal causes, and heritable and nonheritable congenital defects.
