Caesarean section in animals

Often, animal owners, without proper information about the timing of pregnancy and the specifics of its course, may miss symptoms that signal an urgent need to consult a veterinarian. Unfortunately, it is not always possible for a pet to cope with childbirth on its own. If the process is going wrong, the specialist will most likely prescribe a cesarean section.  Pathological childbirth can occur for a number of reasons, which include: a sharp violation of the contractility of the uterus and abdominal wall muscles, pelvic narrowness, incorrect fetal position, premature and inept intervention of the host in the process.   Clinical picture If you find the following symptoms in a pet, you urgently need to contact a veterinary clinic: intense contractions lasting more than half an hour, without giving birth to offspring, more than 4 hours have passed from the beginning of the second stage to the birth of the first fetus, the period between the birth of fetuses is more than 2 hours, labor does not begin within a day after reducing the rectal temperature below 37.2 degrees, the pet feels uncomfortable, there is a reaction to pain, constantly licking the vulva area during contractions, the gestation period is more than 68 days from the date of mating, bloody discharge before the birth of the first fetus or between the birth of fetuses, a decrease or complete absence of uterine contraction after cervical irritation.

When contacting our veterinary clinic, our specialists will first examine the pet, assess the criticality of its condition, and perform the necessary diagnostics and research. If a cesarean section is prescribed, the animal will be transferred to the surgical department for surgery. Caesarean section is the extraction of the fetus by incision of the abdominal wall and uterus. The main task of the operation is to save the life of both the mother and the fetus. Caesarean section is performed under anesthesia. It ensures the maintenance of a stable condition of the pet during surgery, pain relief and faster and safer recovery after surgery. The Drug Veterinary Clinic is equipped with modern and high-tech equipment that allows performing a cesarean section under anesthesia quickly and efficiently. We have all the conditions for resuscitation of a newborn fetus and postoperative animal care. The team of our veterinary clinic consists of experienced and qualified surgeons, assistants, anesthesiologists, internists and other specialists. Before the operation, the anesthesiologist will talk to the pet's owner, after which he will select the necessary anesthesia protocol for the pet. Any other questions?
