Just an opinion from my vet. He never believes in starting (inducing?)
labor until after the first pup has been delivered. This way, you know she
can
pass it. If you do, and there is a pup who could get stuck in the canal, it
could jeopardize the whole litter, not to mention cause problems for the
bitch. Small litters don't necessarily equate with c-sections. I guess
whether
or not a section is necessary, that can be a judgement call on you and your
vet. There are factors to consider. Is this her first litter, being one of
them, age(not always a factor but one to consider) and has she had trouble in
the past. These aren't the only things, I'm sure and there are probably
folks who had one or more things happen without, but if there is a problem,
please do check with your vet. I've seen sections done on the bitch for
remaining
pups if they were way too big for passing and the bitch was distressed or
she lost inertia. So, unless there is some underlying factor or problem,
automatically opting for a c-section is not the way to go. But, bitch safety
and
concern are what counts here.
For what it is worth.
