14 Jan 2016. I followed up visit to see my 5 dams caesarean section by me (2 dams) and Dr Daniel (3 dams). 

They were one Maltese, three Corgis and one Dachshund.

1. Maltese. 3-day-old puppies all OK. 
2. One Corgi produced 7 puppies but had no milk. She had gone back to the original owner.  Puppies 17 days old. 
3. Dachshund. Two puppies. 23 days old.
4. Corgi passed away after C-section. 3 puppies over 8 weeks old.
5. Corgi had 8 puppies but no milk. Successful C-section. Puppies died at Day 3-5 when fostered to other dams. She is alive.

This video shows the surgical outcome of 5 puppies. Monosyn stitches used by Dr Daniel will dissolve after around one month. The breeder did not think so.
