 adhesions
I will ask RiniW about adhesions...as a matter of fact I do not recall my vet ever mentioning them to me in a second time section. Perhaps, it is the way the surgery is done as posted.
Our friend who lost her bitch told me she had an xray and saw 3 pups..but nothing was mentioned to her about seeing adhesions..interesting question.
Karin..as to labor going on for hours without a pup being produced works for humans, but not toy dogs. They are exhausted and become a risky candiate for surgery. ..and fetal death is a big problem with a prolonged labor.
Everyone must do what they feel is ethical right. I see nothing wrong in giving a bitch two chances to free whelp..after the second section, I stop and spay. |
