Thanks...

(pt-3) Yes he seemed like he may have not been the gentlest, but with a c-section the longer it takes to perform the surgery, the more anesthesia the pups will get, and the longer it will take for them to come around after being removed from mom. So with this surgery, time is of the essence & the faster all of the pups are out, the better.

I think maybe you need to do a little more research or find a new veterinarian!

[baylynn4]

(pt2) Google it. Don't know if you've ever seen a c-section before but every one I've seen (even a natural bulldog birthing) it takes a bit of stimulation for the pups to start breathing and come to. The vet who did this surgery is a board certified surgeon,and vet techs in clip are also certified. Every single one of the pups & mom make it, so I think it's safe to assume he & the rest of the staff knew what they were doing.

To annetebully breeder: first off, acepromazine is a sedative NOT an anesthesic. I have never heard of a vet using acepromazine & lidocaine to do a c-section? I really can't imagine how that would work? Take a look at every other bulldog c-section video & you will see they are all on gas anesthesia. Second of all the pups were not born half dead. The medication they were giving the pups is called dopram, a very common drug that is placed under the tongue of new pups to stimulate breathing. (pt1)

That will leave a dent on your wallet.

If you'll watch more closely you'll see that the puppies did not receive any injections. The needle was removed and then the medication was placed in the pup's mouth. It was likely dopram, a respiratory stimulant, that's given orally to neonate puppies sometimes. And no, you can't do an epidural on a dog for a C-section. The dog must be completely anesthetized.

Please don't take advice from individuals who aren't vets. Seeing a few C-sections doesn't make you an expert. Vet school does.

Great lighting, most of the operations I've seen have all been in the dark!

[annettebullybreeder]

@baylynn4 time is of the essence because the mom is over sedated! You shouldn't have to give the pups any shots to revive them period. They could do a spinal too, just like they do on women. But that's to much work. You you want to see your baby go from kicking in the womb. to knock mom totally out, baby stops moving and is born in a dead like state. The longer it takes for them to take a breath, the more chance for brain damage. DUH!

[annettebullybreeder]

@baylynn4 I have talked with and worked with several vets that use Acepromazine . Call fox lake animal hosp, or island lake Dr max.. those are in Illinois ask them how it works and how many pups don't die. Just because YOU personal haven't heard of it , just shows how many vet's are doing it wrong. How many pups are dieing. yet you still are paid for the vets bill. Do your research b4 you bash me. That's what the internet is for.

[annettebullybreeder]

@annettebullybreeder look around vet's aren't even American's. They come from other countries, because they know American's will spend more on their pets health , than any other country . these vets don't even own a pet them self's. having seen over 30 c-sections. Most vet's don't care about the survival rate of puppies born by over sedating the dame's. rule of thumb is what you saw in the video. Pups born in almost dead state. Over sedated!you don't see how many pups die this way

[KimPeahen]

@annettebullybreeder : I think that it would help to have any of your advice taken seriously if you were able to write coherently. The pups appeared to be normal as compared to the three natural puppy births I have witnessed. Your comment about vets still getting paid is pretty insulting. Veterinarians generally go into the field because they love animals.
