I agree, of course since I have had two c-sections myself, and could have
chanced a natural delivery but was told that natural bitrth after puts you at
high risk for your uterus rupturing, no thank you. So I chose c-section when I
delivered my own kids after having my first wemergency c-section as well.
That said, I think having a natural birth after a c-section with a bitch is
dependent on why she had the c-section the first place, and how many pups were
delivered.
In this case, the vet said the uterus was thin, and stretched to the max and
was not contracting properly to have the pups even line up into the birth
canal. Her uterus was overloaded with 11 pups, all good size. Puppies were
detaching, and we had a black discharge and waited four hours for her body to
kick in to deliver pups. Xray and ultrasound confirmed the pups did not line
up like they shuld so even giving her a shot of oxy would not help get pups out
since they weren't even be in the right spot to move out. The vet said due to
the thinness of the uterus, and it being so stretched out, and it not working
properly to even try to get the pups out she recommended not breeding her
again, since next time we may not be so lucky t have so many live pups. She
said she could be wrong, but based on what she saw of her uterus this is her
recommendation, or schedule a c-section if we must breed her again since she
can see a repeat of this happening
all over again.
This is a vet who does c-sections regualarly with several bulldog breeders in
the area, so I doubt this is her normal recommendation.
Of course, she may be wrong. I have only had one c-section before this, and
that was with one dead pup left in the uterus, so my knowledge is limited but
for me as Ed knows, I do not feel comfortable but it will be interesting to see
what other people have seen in a situation similar to the one we just had with
our girl here sicne this is a first for me.

Go with what the vet said. he had his hands in there, so his is the
opinion I'd trust.
(Most women will tell you, once a c-section, always a c-section.)
Oh sure, you can always find an occasion where a bitch delivered normally
(vaginally) following a c-section, but do you REALLY want to chance the scar
tissue holds???
Not me, no sir.

My co-breeder just last night took my bitch in for a
C-Section....delivered 11 puppies...I've had a bitch have a c-section before
and go on to have
three more normal litters...the New York vet who did the operation stated
that the bitch had a weak uterus and perhaps would need another c-section if
breed again...any listers out there with experience in this?...love to hear
your opinions...Ed
