Labor & Delivery
If your pet is pregnant or you are planning for pregnancy, consult with our doctors to have the right delivery plan.
Overview
The creation of life is an exciting time. We are here to support and help with your pet's labor and delivery with trained doctors, technicians and modern technology. Giving birth at our hospital is the safest and most comfortable option for your pet.
When should I bring my pet to the hospital for labor and delivery?
If your pet has become pregnant or if you suspect your pet is pregnant, make an appointment with our veterinarians. We will perform a pre-natal exam as well as an ultrasound to determine how many puppies or kittens you can expect.
As your pet nears the end of pregnancy, look for signs that labor is beginning. These signs include restlessness, anxiety, panting, pacing, nesting, refusal to eat, or even trembling. This stage of labor can last anywhere between 6-36 hours, during which contractions are occurring. If your pet is expressing signs of difficulty delivering, call our hospital immediately.
