He said since she is a small dog she may need a C-section.
He should have been able to tell you the measurements of the cervix, each of the puppies heads and give you a close estimate about expected growth (to birth) and be able to give you an educated measurement for each. Go back and tell him you want to know all the measurements and the cervix and position and to estimate based on his knowledge. Anyway, that is what I would do. Good luck. I hope you have someone who can birth the puppies with you because there is a lot you can do. If you need a website, email me and I will send it by my home email mbowens@cfl.rr.com Hope all goes well.
