He just thinks that they can have at least 3 c/sections, of course, depending on the health of the dog. However, I am going to go with the breeders on this one as we live with our girls and know what's best for them.
I truly appreciate your expertise. You always have very informative posts!
Edited to say that I miss quoted the price of the c/section. It's approx. $250. including oxy shot and antibiotics. |
Char, IMO, no more than 2 c-sections...which is basically what others have said.
As far as vets, I know that it's a 45 minute drive for you but if you ever cannot get with your vet, my vet is AWESOME and reasonably priced.
His c-sections during office hours are around $175 (I believe x-ray included). My other friend, Charlotte, had a section on her girl last Friday (around midnight) and the c-section, claws/tails, antibiotics cost her around $385.
