Different dogs act different ways when they have had a c-section. The anesthia takes about 10 hours to get out of her system where you notice a change in her. I know my girl did. She is acting protective. That is not wrong. Is she in a quiet place, away from others?? Keep other dogs and kids away form her. If there is too much going on that too will make them act this way. Are the pups nursing okay? My vet said to never leave a mom alone when they are still under anesthia. I will usually set her stuff up next to my bed and stay with her and the pups. But just you with her. They can accidently sit on them, even bite their own pups. They do not know what they are doing during this time. I know my girl even jumped out of her whelping box and tried to hide under the bed. Luckily I was there. They can do some really weird things while the anesthia is still in them.
Be sure she is eatting and drinking now, especially drinking. The whelping pudding will give her the calories she need for now, till she feels like eatting, in case she won't eat for you. When my girls had c-sections, I had to hand feed them. Just giving you a heads up, in case.
Since she did not have enough room for her pups to be delivered naturally, it is best to have her spayed. Congratulations. |
