Can a dog still get pregnant normally after a Cesarean section?
The claim that a dog cannot become pregnant after a Cesarean section is incorrect. A Cesarean section does not affect normal pregnancy in the future; it is just that, depending on how well the dog recovers after surgery, mating should generally wait until one or two estrous cycles have passed, so that the uterine incision can heal fully. However, care should be taken to correct the cause of the difficult birth in time, so as to avoid dystocia occurring again at the next delivery.
