Dystocia is the failure
of completion of labor without
exogenous intervention. The incidence of dystocia is highly variable among animal species
and races. In domestic dogs and big and brachiocephalic races, this incidence
is particularly high. Early stimulation of labor causes
uterine inertia and fetal developmental disorders whereas delayed labor   results in overgrowth of fetus thus increasing the rate of dystocia. Several
factors both related
to the mother and the fetus are responsible of dystocia and this
can be managed by manuel
intervention as well as some medical and surgical methods
