.Infertility and low-fertility affect dogs just like other mammalian species, including humans. For dog breeders, these become true worries when looking to breed them. While a few infertility problems are inherited, many just develop with age.
Low infertility in dogs is due to several factors such as age, injuries, drugs, disease,( Brucella canis) physical defects, inability to ejaculate, degeneration of the testes, low sperm count, and congenital abnormalities.
CAUSES OF INFERTILITY.
1)Test Your Dog for Brucella Canis. Brucella canis is a gram-negative bacterium that can be a reason for your dog’s infertility or low fertility. Brucella canis causes brucellosis in dogs and other canines.
The disease manifests as orchitis and epididymitis in male dogs, placentitis, endometritis and abortions in females. It can lead to infertility in both sexes. Other notable but less common symptoms include inflammation in the eyes and appendicular and axial skeleton. Brucella canis affects humans, too, but it is extremely rare.
The symptoms of the disease vary significantly in both the canine genders. Males face infertility as their bodies produce antibody against the sperm. It may further manifest in the form of inflammation of the testes, which settles down gradually. Females face abortion of developing fetuses
