Back in the 80s I had two dogs spayed during a c-section--an Irish Setter and a Cavalier. The Irish Setter had 10 puppies, the Cavalier had no living puppies (the reason she was being spayed). The Irish Setter had no trouble at all with milk--I will never know about the Cavalier. However both had problems with excess bleeding-the blood volume is so increased on pregnant bitches it can be hard to prevent this from happening when spaying at this time. The Irish Setter nearly died and had to have a couple of blood transfusions. The Cavalier had to be wrapped tightly and managed to recover fairly well without a blood tranfusion. Our vet clinic will not do spays during c-sections anymore. They saw way too many complications.
