MASTITIS IN THE GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER

Mastitis refers to swelling, inflammation, and infection of the breast...one of the many things that can go wrong during the pregnancy, birth, and nursing process.  Having babies is a fairly high risk venture in all species, and of all the potential problems that can occur, mastitis is usually fairly easy to treat ...but not always: this disease can be deadly.  Yet another reason to recommend spaying  female pets unless you really want a litter and are willing to take on the responsibility and expenses of when things go wrong.
