good thing to be prepared for but i am sure she will be fine. good luck to you and i hope all goes well. mine have never needed a c-section and i have seen on here where some have had a c-section but their girls were young and very small. very few times do i see one who is a candidate for breeding that needs one.
the prices on c-section will vary from city to city and state to state. also, what time a c-section is being preformed.
i have seen it from 400-3500.
i would wait and see what your vet tells you.
please don't get it in your head about a c-section b/c during her whelping when one little thing doesn't look right...you may think in your head """"" c-section!!!"""" but you do need to be aware of the signs when she does need to go to the er.
