I hope everything goes well for you and the mom to be. Keep us updated! |
The vet said the pups are big but it is also possible to deliver naturally. He said it's up to me to decide.

If for some reason she should have a difficult whelp and you feel the need to take her to the vet I am pretty sure that an emerg. cesarean will be more expensive than a scheduled one. I myself have never had a reason to take my girls in for a cesarean scheduled or otherwise, so I could be wrong.
It is definitely a decision you and your vet should discuss. |
I can have a scheduled c-section for about $700-800 dollars but if it's emergency c-section during vet hours, it will be another $100 or so. However, if it's off hours, I would have to take her to the emergency vet and that could be $1500-$2000.
