To the skeptics:
Of course medical experts give their testimony, but it is up to jury to determine what is relevant. So to clarify: you aren't being asked for your medical opinion, you're being ask for your reaction to the facts and how you would decide.

I would say if I were on a jury I would rely heavily on the expert medical testimony to form an opinion as to the liklihood that there was a connection between the bite and the miscarriage.

Without proof that there is reasonable certainty that one caused the other; then the dog owner should pay for all medical bills associated with the actual bite and I imagine some "pain and suffering" will be awarded.

(years ago I was rear-ended in a small fender-bender. Imagine my surprise when the other parties insurance company showed up on my porch with a $500 check for "pain and suffering" )
