Neonatology remains a challenge for veterinarians due to the scarcity of information (including morphological data) on canine neonates. Misinformation on the topic is one of the causes of the high rate of fetal and neonatal mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the volumetric capacity of the stomach in stillbirths dogs. A total of 39 stillbirths were examined. The animals were classified into three groups according to their weight (I small size, II medium size and III large size). The stomach was removed from the abdominal cavity and the volumetric capacity of the stomach was measured by administering milk with a syringe until it was completely filled. In group I, the average weight of stillborns was 136.22±39.04 g; in group II 243.24±32.6 g and in group III 333±17.4 g. The mean volumetric capacity of the stomachs of animals in group I was 3.52±1.79 ml; from group II 6.6±2.88 ml and from group III 7±1.91 ml. It was observed that the volumetric capacity of the stomachs of newborn dogs increases with the size of the animal. This information makes it possible to provide adequate nutrition to patients unable to ingest maternal milk.
