The dog is
prepared for surgery. |
The skin incision
is made... |
and the abdominal
wall is incised. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The uterus is
located |
and drawn gently
to the outside. |
The pup is located |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
and the thin
uterine wall is carefully |
incised to expose
the pup |
within the
placental membranes. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The pup is removed
from the uterus |
along with the
placental tissues |
and the pup is
placed onto |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
clean towels for
drying and clearing |
of the airway to
induce breathing. |
The uterus is
inspected carefully. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
In this case the
dog is being spayed. The ovaries and uterus are removed. |
Post op
incision... the skin is secured by underlying sutures and glue. |
The pups are
encouraged to nurse as soon as possible |
