Amstar Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Apparently she was only 8 weeks judging by the ultrasound and X-ray that was the estimate the c sec was because the 2 pups were both very different in size and we were worried this will cause problems also she seems to be stressing that she does have pups yet I think her mind and body are very confused he also said because her last litter (he first) was so large that have only 2 pups and one is smaller that her uterus may be stretched to the point that contractions may not push the puppies out properly seemed strange to me but I would rather the c sec than anything happen to her or her babies so I just made the call that I found right for her he said if she starts to go into labour then bring her in and we can do the c sec then if not Monday's the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstar Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wow I would hate to have that happen to me sadly u lost puppies but that could maybe have been avoided if the vet had listened to you your right no one knows your pet like you do it's like your children and a mother knows best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes with small litters, bitches don't produce enough hormone to go into active labour so if you feel she's acting off or unusually, make sure you head to the vet for a check.

Amstar Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Really I didn't know that ^^ ok I will take her for that test I have had it done on other females for the purpose of accurate breeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstar Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Personally I think I was accurate in her due date ive been considering another opinion I've been with my vet ages he has never steered me wrong before but I'm just not convinced I have been sure she is displaying the appropriate behaviours and attitudes that she is ready so I will get the test down and I think what u mentioned above may be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstar Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Do u think (I would never do it) but are dogs like people in the way that u can leave a person pregnant and eventually everyone will go into labour (however both may not survive it) are dogs the same would she eventually go into labour if she is left long enough Not just her any bitch or do u think like u said earlier she would never have enough hormone to stimulate proper labour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She never went into active labour (just as I expected) but showed some unusual behaviour. Regardless of that, I knew her due date as she'd been progesterone tested at the time of mating. So no, if left, the consequences can be fatal to both dam and pup/pies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdie Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion from another Vet. http://www.ehow.com/how_5608415_induce-dog_s-labor.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
