Caesarean section for cats and dogs

In veterinary practice, it is not uncommon for the birth of offspring and the preservation of the mother's life to depend on a timely and properly performed cesarean section in pets. Despite the fact that such operations have been practiced for a long time, the experience and qualifications of a veterinary surgeon play a crucial role in the successful outcome of surgery.
The indications for the operation are:
abnormalities in the development of the female's birth canal (pelvic narrowness);
large-scale infertility;
multiple pregnancies unusual for the species or breed;
anomalies that occur already during childbirth;
fetal death in late pregnancy;
sluggish labor, threats of uterine rupture, and other causes.
Depending on the type of indications for cesarean section in cats and dogs, they are divided into absolute and relative. As a rule, absolute readings are determined during the examination of females during pregnancy with the obligatory use of ultrasound examination methods. Relative ones are more often detected directly during the birth process itself.
With absolute indications, the operation is planned and can be performed in a clinic setting. If complications arise during childbirth, such as secondary birth weakness, the cesarean cat will have to be performed at home, and the operation itself will be considered an emergency.
In some cases (extensive ruptures, necrosis of the wall, dead fetuses) during a cesarean section, the uterus is removed from a cat or dog along with the contents to prevent possible inflammation of the abdominal organs. The decision to extirpate a pregnant uterus is made by a veterinarian based on an objective analysis of existing or emerging pathologies during childbirth.
Caring for an animal after cesarean section
If your animal had to go through an operative delivery, then in the future they need additional care and attention. First of all, strictly follow the recommendations of the surgeon who performed the operation, especially regarding the care of the surgical suture.
You shouldn't worry too much, as a rule, after a cesarean, both cats and dogs recover quickly enough. If everything is done correctly, they are able to have offspring in the future.
The most important point after the operation is to make it impossible for the animal to lick the suture. For dogs, a special plastic collar is most often used, for cats, in addition to the collar, a postoperative protective bandage is used.

If you value your pet's life, examinations during pregnancy are a necessary measure. No less important is the presence of a professional veterinarian at the birth – only he will be able to objectively assess the birth process, assist the woman in labor, and, if necessary, perform a cesarean section, thereby saving the lives of the mother and offspring.
