Will my Dog need a C-Section?
Will my Dog need a C-Section? General Dog Discussions
My dog is now around 6 weeks pregnant, we still have to bring her to the vet to confirm the pregnancy but it is quite evident because she is showing alot of the signs of a dog around 6weeks pregnant.She is now 9years old and this is her second set of puppies. The last time she had puppies when she was around 3, the father was a lot bigger than her and the puppies were to big for her to have so after a few hours of very odd behaviour we rushed her to the vet to see what was wrong. She had to have an emergency C-Section and she was unable to feed and raise more than 1of the puppies.This was soon after she got shot and hit by a bus. She is a small dog and the father to her puppies now is also small with longer legs. Will she have to have a C-Secton because she had one in the past?And if she does,are mothers usually able to feed and raise all her puppies after a C-Section because she was not able to in the past?She also seems a bit big for a dog at 6 weeks especially since both the mother + father are small, could this mean she will have a good few puppies around 4-6.We are bringing her to the vet on Saturday. The last time we brought her she got an ultra-sound but it was to early in the pregnancy so they could'nt tell if she was pregnant and they charged a goog bit of money for it to.Maybe last time the reason she could'nt keep more than one puppy was because of the 2 incidents which happened before the pregnancy.She is eating alot more now during this pregnancy than she did during the last one. I hope her and the puppies will all be alright and that none of them will have to be put down.
