Is it necessary to have a spay after a C-Section? Can doggies not have repeat c-sections?

I give most bitches two chances to free whelp. Some times it can be the bad luck of having one over sized pup or a puppy blocking the opening. My decisions depends on a number of factors..size of bitch, reason for section, etc.
No one can make a blanket statement and say.."one section for all, then spay"..it must be taken bitch by bitch as with any breeding.

I agree with YorkieRose. Once c-section doesn't necessarily mean you'll need another one. Sit down and talk with your vet.

Good advice Pat!

I agree.

The chances are usually greater of needing a second c-section but I have personally known of several breeders who have had several litters naturally after a c-section. It is different in every case. As someone else here said talk it over with your vet as he should know your bitch better and be able to advise you.

This is quite true..I found about 50% of mine free whelped the second time, but the other 50% needed another section and I spayed them...

i had kandy spayed last week at the same time of her section. but, i knew I only planned for her to have one more litter then retire so i didn't want her to go thru it again even tho she had always been a free whelper. Just too big a chance to take on her life at the time. but, my some of my husbands beagles have had to have repeat sections.
