Check out these six signs of pregnancy in dogs from Noah’s Ark Veterinary Hospital: Typically, a dog’s gestation period lasts from 58-68 days. Two weeks after bringing Chikis to the vet, she went into labor. The labor started off great, and a puppy was delivered; but soon after, Chikis was stressed and unable to deliver the other baby. Chikis’ mom brought her into the vet, and learned that Chikis needed an emergency Caesarean Section (c-section) to help remove the puppy from her uterus.
Signs that may indicate that your pup needs a C-section include weak contractions for more than two hours without producing a puppy or signs of illness in the mother dog such as vomiting, fever, pain and bloody discharge. If you see any of these signs, take her into your veterinarian immediately. Chikis’ mom is on a limited income, was not expecting a pregnant pup or an emergency c-section. She had spent all her vet funds at the previous visit for Chikis. She applied to Fur Kids Foundation for help with the emergency c-section, and we were happy to help. During the emergency c-section, Chikis was spayed, so there will not be any more oops litters for Chikis or her family! Fur Kids Foundation always encourages pet owners to spay and neuter their pets.
