I have a bitch that should be in season around May - June and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reliable and trustworthy property to look after the bitch during gestation, whelp (by cesarean preferred)and rear the pups to 3-4 months. As close to Sydney as possible would be good but would consider further afield.
Cheers

Hi Robert This bitch of mine has had one previous litter . She whelped the first three pups herself and then had trouble. We took her to the vet who performed an emergency c-section but we still lost 2 pups.And if this happens in the middle of the night the cost is double a normal regular hours operation. I have always preferred natural birth but lately I have found it to be a lot less stressful on the bitch and the pups to just have the c-section done. I know that a lot of people will disagree but that is my reason.
Cheers

Chris, just be aware that the bitch may not accept the pups when she wakes up from the anaesthetic, as she has not gone through the natural birth process.

hi chris, i tend to find that the whelper has more stress and sometimes goes the easy way.
Not if you have a problem as you said

Hey everyone. I am really not interested in having a debate regarding the pros and cons of cesareans. If the bitch can have the pups naturally I would be a happy man. At this time though I am only interested in finding someone to care for my girl and whelp the pups, be it natural or otherwise.
