You should forget this upcoming heat cycle and breed her on the next. She needs time to heal internally.

Cycles. My of my girls come in ate(18-24 months) for the first time and then had seasons about 10months apart. hey always conceived and had no whelping issues. When I bred to Big Ben my irls came in right at 6 months and were 6 months to the day when coming in eason. I had a dog I bought who came in every 4 months. She was bred and had uppies normally. Her next litter she had 4 normally an had a csection to get he last puppy who liked it in there an didnt want to come out. After her ection she came in 7 months later and every 7 months from then on. I had nother who conceived and normally whelped 13 puppies from being bred one time n her 23rd day! She had seasons a year apart up til she had a c section for a etained placenta and after that she did not have a season for 19months. I have eard and read somewhere that the body will not prepare for a pregnancy unless t is physically able to sustain it and reproduce. my I guess if thats true,and it seemed so in my dogs cAses, she will not come n until her body says that its capable to conceive and sustain & whelp A itter. So,ask your vet! Lol et us know what happens ami Medusasmom...forever ent from my iPhone On Jun 16, 2012, at 1:20 PM, Amy Greenhut <genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Everyone......I have a five year old bitch that has had two healthy itters. The last time that she was bred she had to have an emergency c-section o remove one dead puppy a week before it was supposed to be born. I think that he had more and reabsorbed for some reason and that is what killed the emaining puppy because there was a lot of black stuff in her uterus. The vet lso saw a cyst next to one of her ovaries. He said to breed her right away next eat because the thing with the cyst will get worse with each heat. She will be n heat in the next two weeks. The c-section was the second week of April. I hink that I did not mention to the vet that she comes in heat every 4-1/2 to 5 onths. He did a culture on her and everything came back normal. This is not ust a vet......he also does reproductive issues. In your opinion is it too soon fter her c-section to breed her......is she healed up enough inside. I really ant a litter of puppies .....but I will not do anyt hi ng to risk her life. So I come here to ask cause you guys always have the best nswers......TIA.
