Pet C-Sections in Milpitas, CA
Our team practices expert, compassionate care for both mother and puppies or kittens, prioritizing the health of both at every stage.
What Is a Pet C-Section?
A C-section (cesarean section) is a surgical procedure to deliver puppies or kittens through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. C-sections can be emergency procedures during labor or scheduled in advance for breeds known to experience complications.
When Is a C-Section Necessary?
A delay in delivery can be dangerous for both the mother and her babies, and it’s critical to seek additional care when abnormalities in the birth occur. Signs your pet may need a C-section include:
- Active labor without delivery for over 30 minutes
- Restlessness or distress during labor
- A visible puppy or kitten that isn’t progressing
- A history of difficult births
We recommend a consultation for brachycephalic breeds or pets with prior complications to determine whether a scheduled C-section is the safest option.
What to Expect During the Procedure
At Abel Veterinary Hospital and Surgical Services, we make sure you understand every step of the process — from diagnosis to delivery and recovery.
Our C-section process includes:
- Pre-surgical evaluation and imaging to assess fetal size, number, and positioning
- Safe anesthesia and continuous monitoring by trained veterinary staff
- Gentle delivery of the litter and immediate assessment of each newborn
- Post-surgical care for the mother, including pain management and recovery support
We’ll also guide you on aftercare for mom and her babies, including nursing tips, wound monitoring, and signs of complications.
