Poodle pups from Caesarean section Pt 3
Channel: Dr David Sing

The 2 poodle pups are active and want to suckle. The dam has no milk despite being 64th day pregnant. The rectal temperature was 36.5 yesterday morning and Caesarean section was done at midnight later when the poodle contracted around 10.30 pm but could not give birth. When the breeder reached Toa Payoh Vets at around 12.15 am, one pup had given birth and he was knotting the umbilical cord. I proceeded to do the caesarean section and 1/2 pups was delivered alive.The other pup was signficantly smaller in size and had died some 24 hours earlier  (cyanotic tongue, no stench of melted placental fluid inside the uterus.) 

FOLLOW UP 24 HOURS LATER.  The dam has no milk. I asked the breeder why he did not use tube feeding with artificial millk. 

He had let another Dachshund caesarean section by me to nurse the puppies.
