I agree with Pat...It really depends on the mom and the reason for the section...We prefer to have a mom spayed at a later date if we can because the uterus is engorged with blood at this time and their is more blood loss to spay at the same time as the section...Of course, if mom has a damaged uterine horn from labor than we would opt for the spay...

We have had mom's that have had puppies with malpresentations that have required a section to go on and deliver with the next preg on their own...We have also had mom's that have had trouble with enertia/dystocia, need a section, the enertia/dystocia gets worse with the next preg, and then we have retired them...

I think you have to evaluate each mom , one pregnancy at a time, along with your vet...
