 C-section
hello!! this is my first post but i have been on here awhile reading and learning a lot!! i have a 2yr old yorkie who's name is izzy. i paid alot of money for her and drove 8 hrs one way to get her when she was 12wks old! well i wanted to breed her one time since she is such a beautiful and well mannered dog so i researched alot and decided to breed her!! she is 4.5lbs and the stud was 4.6lbs so i thought well great!! she is now 56 days and went and had the x-rays today well the vet said there was 2. i looked at the x-rays and saw 2 as well but the vet said they was long but that might not be a problem until i told him that the 62 days is on x-mas eve and the 63 days is x-mas. so then he said if she did have any problems whelping then they would not have a full staff to assist in the c-section and i would have to drive an hour away to an emergency vet. so i decided to schedule her a c-section on monday at 8a.m. so i dont know if he suggested a c-section b/c they was to long and 2 big for her to have natural(he did not measure the skulls or izzy) or if he was just scared she would go into labor during x-mas and there would be a problem and i would have to drive far away! i do not want to let her free whelp on x-mas and one get stuck in the birth canal and i have to drive 1 hr away that is way to risky. BUT again i dont want to put her threw a c-section if it is not needed!!!! and another thing makes me think he was just concerened about them not havin any staff available was-- i asked him what if she goes into labor this weekend should i bring her in or just see how she does. he said i could let her try b/c they would have the staff this weekend!!! what do you guys think?? sorry for such a long post but i just dont know what to do!!! oh this is her first litter!!
thank you so much |
