Emergency Caesarean Section Dachshund 2/4

Dam wanted to bite when given cone anaesthesia. Hence some vets prefer to give sedatives IM or IV. However, with patience, the dam was anaesthesized by cone first and then intubated. Gas at 2.5% maintenance provided excellent anaesthesia.

I made a smaller skin incision. The exposed uterine body was incised to milk out the pups. No need to exteriorise the uterus in this case. 2 pups per horn. 3 in water bag. All had umbilical cords attached to normal healthy placentas.
