PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION

This interactive panel discussion will cover decision making regarding anaesthetic protocols for routine and emergency C-section and suggestions to minimize risks for brachycephalic breeds, bitches with large litters, or bitches carrying high-risk pregnancies such as hypoluteoidism, anasarca, placentitis, concurrent pyometra and pregnancy, etc. Basic surgical procedures will be covered briefly, with particular emphasis highlighting tips for preventing concerns like intra-operative hypotension, excessive blood loss, preventing uterine lacerations, and other common complications during the surgical procedure.

Neonatal resuscitation protocols will be included as well as post-operative pain management, lactation induction or augmentation for the dam. We will discuss improvement of maternal behaviour towards her neonates particularly regarding the maiden bitch undergoing elective C-section.

There will be plenty of opportunity for attending vets to ask questions, make comments and share their own experience with the group.

This is part 2 of our C-section panel discussion. See part 1 covering indications for and against elective and emergency C-section in dogs and cats and factors that should be considered in preparation for surgery.
