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. |
In most cases, scaring/adhesions that are NOT calcified will not be clearly evident on X-ray. That is the same in humans...we can see some signs such as looking at an x-ray and seeing a puppy that is in a certain odd position and no other skeleton is evident to cause the oddity. There is evidence that something is there, but not definitive for adhesions.
The adhesions in my opinion that we are really discussing is NOT the scar on the skin from the C-section incision.. That is almost cosmetic to describe it as small or non-noticeable. That also will NOT affect the delivery from the internal organs. Those internal adhesions that cause problems are not always a surgeons fault..Some dogs as well as some humans have certain scarring tendencies-I am one of the humans and EVERY surgery causes adhesions in me-
I have known some moms who could not deliver not due to surgical adhesions but old uterine infections that were successfully treated and did not require a hysterectomy..
