Nov 27, 2015  A Corgi comes in for Caesarean section at 58th day after first and only mating by the professional dog breeder. Op by Dr Daniel and 7 live pups produced.

Rectal temperature at first visit on 57th day (lethargic, anorexic 4 days) was 39.5C. Went home after treatment. At 7 am, the next day, temp was 38C. 1 puppy came out at 8 am but no more the next 4 hours.

Caesarean section decided and done on 1.15 pm. The breeder shows how he revives the distressed puppy. He was most happy with the surgical outcome of a survival of the dam and 7 puppies. Each Corgi costs around $5,000 - $6,000 in Singapore. The two full-coloured puppies cost more.

Blood test on the 57th day shows that the dam that had not eaten for the past 4 days  had anaemia, leucocytosis and high glucose level at 4 pm yesterday and a temperature of 39.5C.
