This book also provides the most current and comprehensive information about abnormal conditions affecting feline reproduction, such as infertility, spontaneous abortion and contraception. Covering both pets and nondomestic species, this feline reproduction book will prove to be essential for the general veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and experienced cat breeder.
