7 points to check you're making the right decision for your dog

31/5/2018

After a recent and significant experience at the vets with a very poorly pregnant dog, I decided to reflect on the situation and collate a checklist for consideration for any future scenarios.

I had a female who's health had deteriorated rapidly in 48hrs. She was approx 52 day gestation and very comfortable.

​Full details are in the video but ultimately I decided to c-section at 53 days. The results 8 dead pups, 1 spayed bitch and a £3,000 vet bill due to suspected Canine Maternal Hydrops, would I make the same decision again?      YES!
​
Points to consider when making difficult health related decisions about your dog:
  1. Pregnancy is a condition an illness
  2. Signs of pain
  3. #1 Bitch
  4. Breed Specific pain thresholds
  5. Planning to reduce risk
  6. Point of need advice
  7. You make the final decision
