Here's why it's important to consult a veterinarian:
* Individual factors: A veterinarian needs to assess the dog's overall health, the size and position of the puppies, and the progress of labor.
* Potential complications: There are numerous reasons why a c-section might be necessary, such as a small pelvis, a breech position of the puppies, or other health concerns.
* Risk assessment: A veterinarian can assess the risks and benefits of both a vaginal delivery and a c-section and recommend the best course of action for the dog and her puppies.
