Abstract
In the 21st century, in modern veterinary reproduction, the study of vaginal smear cytology is very promising. This method is simple to implement and has a relatively low cost. Its use in the clinical reproduction of dogs is of great diagnostic value, as well as in the diagnosis of gynaecological diseases. The method of vaginal cytology allows you to most accurately determine the beginning and end of the fertile period. The purpose of the work is to study the modern method of diagnosing “hidden sex activity” in a female dog and to describe a clinical case of determining the day of the oestrous cycle by the cytological method. The objectives of the research are 1) to study the cellular composition of smears of a female dog at different stages of the sexual cycle; 2) features of the estrus cycle based on changes in the picture of the cytological smear and identify the days of estrus.
