Also, I know that if a girl has to have a c-section, special protocols must be undertaken to make sure she "thinks" she free whelped to kick in the natural instincts necessary to care for her babies. They save the placenta and even rub some of the fluids, etc on her nd place the placenta down by her so when she wakes up from the anesthesia it is there.
Is this true? |
Kim, Alot of this is a fact as far as my vet is concerned.. But we have never saved a placenta to be with her when she woke from the anesthesia.. I have only had one mama that would not care for her baby after the c-section and that was Lupae's mama.. She wanted absolutely nothing to do with him..
