| c section questions My little girl Emma just had her second and last litter last night. She had a hard time delivering her first baby and couldn't push it out herself. We rushed her to the emergency vet and the were able to deliver two puppies out of her six. After 6 hours of being in labor and only delivering two pups the vet noticed the third pup was breached and decided to do a c section because the other puppies had low heart rates. All the puppies are fine. My concern is for momma. She won't leave her puppies' side. I have to hand feed her and bring her water. She has only gotten up once to go pee but nothing else in the 9 hours she's been home. She is very thin and seems weak but she is also on pain meds. I got her to eat scrambled eggs, goats milk, some dog treats if I break them up, and just now some soft dog food. I made up some whelping pudding and it's setting now. I have never dealt with a dog after surgery so I don't really know what to expect and whats normal. I was just wondering if any of you who have went through c sections could give me an idea of what your experience was like? I'm taking her to our vet in the morning but just want to know what to look for in the mean time. Thanks! |

| And don't they know it Pat. I have one bitch, Go-Go that would sit in the whelping box and bark for me to bring her a water bowl. Didn't matter that she had a water bottle...she wanted me to put that bowl right under her chin and hold it while she drank.....did it every whelp.....Did it when she was spayed.

| That is the truth! I have Emma at the vet now. She was acting a little funny this morning. The vet ran a blood sample and said she is low on calcium but not critical. They are keeping her for a little while to give her an IV of calcium. The vet also said I need to hand raise the babies for at least 24 hrs if not for good |
