I would call Frontline Co and tell them . I haven't many c-sec but the ones I did have the puppies were fine. Once there were 2 pups only , both in the same horn. 1 was huge and the other was dead and you could tell that it didn't get the nutrition it needed and it looked yucky and preemie. My experience with dead pups is they detach from the placenta and get stuck in the canal for to long or they are born and you can tell right away that they are not right and look strange. With c-sec you might loose the first one that gets stuck, or has been under stress to long in the canal , or detaches from the placenta and doesn't get out in time for air. The pups still inside are all ok because they are still in the " safe Zone" so to speak. If they looked normal , something happened, and I would guess the frontline. I'm not a vet or a expert on breeding and anything can happen during a c-sec to mom and pups, it just seems very strange to me. Sometimes the pups are slow to come around because they get some to the meds. Once the mom is under you have to work fast to get the pups out so they don't get a heavy dose of mom's meds. Thats the only thing I can think of besides the frontline. Glad mom is better. |
