Table of Contents
If you’ve already had a cesarean birth (also called c-section), you may be able to have your next baby vaginally. This is called vaginal birth after cesarean (also called VBAC). You may be able to have a VBAC if your pregnancy is healthy and the incision (cut) in your last c-section was low transverse.
Can a dog have another litter after ac section?
As you say the bitch needed one because of a big bum first pup so it is not like the bitch has a very narrow pelvis so you should be ok with a second litter. It is important to know it was not the bitch’s conformation that caused the problem though before considering a second litter.
Can a dog have puppies naturally after having ac section?
Approximately 70 to 90% of puppies survive a cesarean section, while up to 99% of mothers fully recover from the procedure. Hemorrhage during surgery is a possibility, which may result in the need for oxytocin administration, and in severe cases, an ovariohysterectomy.
Can dogs have more than one C-section?
In dogs, Cesarean sections are not performed routinely. Rarely, they may be booked if a pregnant dog is known to have an abnormally small pelvis, or if other issues have been diagnosed during the pregnancy. If a dog has previously had a Cesarean section and once again is bred, another C-section will be needed.
