| c-section questions!!!??? 1. When do plan for an elective c-section? 2. Which day do you plan for the surgery, 60th day from the first breeding? 63rd day from ovulation? When? 3. Does you vet let you stay and watch during the surgery? 4. When does the vet let you take momma and the babies home after? 5. How often do you normally have to have a c-section done, planned or unplanned? I hope I didnt ask too many questions, these are just some things I have been wondering about. |

In 28 years, I have had about 7 c-sections that were planned and 1 emergency c-section. Best of luck!! The key is to be prepared and have one or two vets that know what is going on in order to prevent that emergency.

| Thanks so much for the reply. I asked my vet what regular procedures were if I had a planned c-section done, she told me that I would not be able to feed or water her the night before, she would have to be admitted to the vet by 8-9am and would be prepped around 11 and surgery would be around noon. She then would be able to go home with me around 430...and they said i could not be there during the surgery... Is it normal that they request that a pregnant female go that long without food and water before a c-section? I was thinking a planned c-section would be best to prevent any complications, but now I am starting to rethink it... |

| I'm just curious why you are doing the c-section. Is there a reason why she can't deliver naturally or do you just want to do a c-section for your own reasons? |

| Thanks Gazu for your answer, but it sounded pretty sarcastic and rude. I am only asking if this is typical. Some vet protocals are not always perfect and wanted to make sure this was ok. Also I exlpained why I was wanting to have the planned c-section... I dont have to have it. I figured with all the reading ive done to try and be safe as possible. I live almost an hour away from the emergency vet hospital and I just dont want her to have complications and have her wait 45 minutes. |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | It is certainly normal about the fasting the night before a c-section. I believe that is normal with any surgery, on animals or humans alike. I've got a young one having retained puppy teeth pulled next week, and also with the spays & neutering that have been done, the dogs always have to fast the night before.....nothing to eat after dinner. So I assume fasting is needed prior to most surgical procedures. When is your female due to whelp? Do you know how many pups she is going to have?

| I know they are suppose to fast before any surgery just wasnt sure if there was an exception for pregnant females. But now that I think about it, it was a silly questions and its better for her to be a little hungry than to risk anything. The risk of them eating or drinking is so they dont aspirate the vomit right? She will be 63 days along from the time she ovulated on the 25th of sept. I am not sure how many yet, she will be going in for an ray next week. |

Vet student? Thats great, where are you in your studies? I have thought about vet school but I do not have the money for 8+ years of schooling. I am a vet tech student though and I love it. | |
