Pet Cesarean
A Pet Cesarean Section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure performed on pregnant pets to deliver puppies or kittens when natural birth is not possible or poses a risk to the mother or offspring. It is a life-saving intervention in cases of dystocia (difficult birth), maternal health concerns, or when certain breeds have difficulty with natural births.
Our clinic boasts a team of highly skilled veterinarians who specialize in reproductive medicine and surgical procedures, including Cesarean sections. They have extensive experience and expertise in ensuring the safe delivery of litter.
The C-Section Procedure:
- Anesthesia: The mother animal is placed under general anesthesia to ensure she is unconscious and does not feel any pain during the surgery.
- Incision: A surgical incision is made in the abdominal wall, typically along the midline. The exact location and size of the incision may vary depending on the veterinarian’s preference and the size of the animal.
- Delivery: The surgeon carefully removes each fetus from the uterus and the amniotic sac, ensuring that the puppies or kittens are breathing and viable. Any remaining placental material is also removed.
- Closure: After all offspring are delivered and the uterus is thoroughly checked for any remaining fetuses, the incision in the abdominal wall is sutured closed. The surgical site is usually covered with an outer layer of stitches and, in some cases, staples.
