Delivery in dogs and cats usually proceeds without major complications, but when things don\u2019t go according to plan, quick assessment and timely intervention can save both the newborns and the mother.
<\/strong>\u00a0In veterinary practice, monitoring pregnancy and assessing labor are crucial for deciding on a cesarean section<\/strong> \u2014 a procedure that can be planned or emergency.
\u00a0At our clinics in Novi Sad and Veternik, we take every pregnancy seriously because we know every case is different. We provide owners with clear guidelines, regular monitoring, and readiness to respond at the right moment.<\/p>\n

The final stage of pregnancy is the most sensitive period. During the last 10 days of pregnancy, we advise owners to measure the female\u2019s rectal temperature morning and evening. This helps determine her physiological temperature during pregnancy (usually between 37.8\u00b0C and 39\u00b0C).
\u00a0On the day the temperature suddenly drops by about one degree, we expect labor to begin within 12 to 24 hours.<\/p>\n

In case of uncertainty, we can additionally measure blood progesterone levels or perform an ultrasound to assess fetal vitality \u2013 especially the puppies\u2019 heart rate, which can indicate if they are stressed and if labor is near.<\/p>\n

A responsible owner is our most important partner. Owners should monitor their pet\u2019s behavior and symptoms that indicate the start of labor \u2013 especially rupture of the water bag, which is often mistakenly interpreted as the pet having \u201curinated herself.\u201d The difference is that the fluid has no urine smell.<\/p>\n

\u00a0After the water bag breaks, if within one to two hours the first newborn is not delivered, this is a clear indication for a cesarean section.<\/strong><\/p>\n
