Many clumbers are natural whelpers, but uterine inertia may necessitate cesarean section. Anesthesia in clumbers should be straightforward, given normal precautions. Rarely, excessively short muzzles or an elongated soft palate may make anesthetic recovery a bit more comparable to brachycephalic breeds. Many veterinarians have graciously drawn these samples at little or no charge, when seeing a clumber patient for another reason. I will be happy to provide further information, and you may also contact GeneSearch directly.
Clumbers are in general a gentle, stoic breed.
Their calm, accepting nature makes them enjoyable patients. If I can be of any assistance, or if I can answer any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
