@thekendallchannel The puppies are always relly stimulated to breathe.They have to get rid of anesthetic and come around to stay alive. We aren't actually as rough as it looks. We totally support them
excellent job as always! im currently im from new brunswick and finishing up my second year of college for registered veterinary technician. any chance i get, im always talking about your videos to our veterinary instructors for learning purposes! great job! and keep the videos coming :)
so around the 4th minute he says something like "don't pull the cord too rough, it might cause a hernia" and then after he clamps it, he lifts the ENTIRE puppy by holding the clamp, and the puppy's weight is entirely supported by his tiny cord as he's handing it to the nurse... am I missing something here...or did he just do it like he warned not to?
@irishee1 I'll have to check that out. I think I was watching my asst clamp the cord. Lifting that tiny weight by the cord won't damage the navel area and cause a hernia unless I pulled on the cord while holding the pup. Great observations
Oh, that surgery scene is rough..."and here is the puppy in a towel looking tiny and cute...", awww, that's nice..."and now back to the surgery..." BLAAAARRRRFFFF....
Question: I have never seen the sacs being opened directly on the sterile field...I know that the video says that the amniotic fluid is sterile but if the puppy had meconium in the sac, would that possibly cause an infection?? I have witnessed a few c-sections and in those the puppies were removed one by one in the sac and handed off to an awaiting technician, where the technician would remove the sacs, tie off the umbilical cord, and then start resuscitation on the puppy. Thanks
@MsHickman09 I usually open the pups sac to the side of the field and check out the pup for a few seconds before handing it off. I've had no problems after lots of c-sections, the meconium or greenish discharge never seems to cause problems. Sometimes I flush the abdomen or pack it off with lap sponges. Thanks for the observations and comments!
@wendyjeanlouis when my dog had her first set of puppies, i had to do this. she was too confused and wanted nothing to do with. The shaking clears the lungs and gives stimulation which makes them want to breath
@DrGregDVM Yea because whenever my mom starts to cry are german sheperd comforts her (his name is hoffa and are best dog because he will bite anyone that comes in :D)
thanks for posting this! i used to work in a vet clinic and got to help with an emergency c section on a cat (i was one of the the ones swinging the kittens! lol). it was an amazing experience - one i'll never forget!! i like to say i gave those kittens the breath of life :)
I still regret not having my Dr. Mike spay my Grand Champion siamese when she had a C section. That's a lot of uterine damage. All 6 of her kittens survived and she produced 3 more Grand Champions for me. Thank you for this informative video. I often use the swinging method for kittens born at home that don't start breathing soon enough. In 35 years I never had a kitten I couldn't revive :).
That's amazing Dr. Greg! Thank you for posting this! Wow!!
I wonder though... when I saw your assistant swinging the puppy (at around 2:44).. wow.. can't believe that's ok. If a human baby got shaken like that it would have brain damage. Why is this not the case with pups?? I have never seen or heard of such a thing.
The pups are always fine because they are totally supported. The pups are put in a towel with the heads supported and the centrifugal force makes the fluid and mucous come out. We also use suction but it is hard to do on such little creatures
No problem I understand, that is why I do this, and wrote a book on practical common sense nutrition. Folks need to know in english not medical lingo. It helps them out if there is an emergency

EMMA is happy to report that all four of her Boys are doing great! Emma has been healing perfectly but complains about the itching(good excuse of belly rubs) The first night was a long one, the human family fed the little ones! but first thing next morning Emma was on duty and is a great mom.The boys are starting to open thier eyes and look like rolly polly sausages! A HUGE THANK YOU to Dr.M and the ladies who gave up thier lunch for Emma and I . I think a pizza payback is on the way!
Soooooooooooooooo Cuteeeeeeeee :)

@DrGregDVM Why do they swing them?
Tsunat3z 1 year ago
@Tsunat3z Gentle swinging helps get rid of the fluid in the mouth, throat, and lungs. Along with suctioning, it helps clear the tubes.
