Emergency Caesarean Section Dachshund 4/4
Channel: Dr David Sing
Date: 2017-07-30

Sunday 8 am Caesarean section. Breeder is satisfied that all 4 pups were vigorous and alive. "Use the least anaesthetic and be quick in your Caesarean section," he repeatedly told me. "Puppies are drowsy when surgery is long."

"Isoflurane gas is safest. When puppies are drowsy, it is usually due to delays in getting C-section or the dam is very ill."   4 vigorous puppies with special markings in 2 of them made him very pleased. The dam had lots of bright red blood coming out from the female part and this is common. It is not serious. 4 normal placentas. 3 of 4 puppies inside the water bag, with one already exposed. However, the breeder revived all 4 and is happy with the outcome.
