Yes dogs who have C/S frequently reject puppies. They need assistance to recognise the
pups eg encouraged to lick them asap after waking and often need assistance to feed
the pups attachment etc before waking. Some dog breeders save a placenta or two for
the mother to eat.

I don't know about dogs but I was watching a zoo type show a few weeks ago and the
were talking about a family of Gorilla's and apparently a couple of them "had to have
caesareans because they weren't labouring well" (insert snorts of disgust here) and
after the surgery the gorilla's apparently wanted nothing to do with the babies. Gee
whiz wonder why? They also talked about how they were supplementing the babies with
bottles (those that still fed off their mothers) because they weren't gaining enough
weight?!?!?! This all sounds very familiar.
I found the whole program disgusting after that and switched off, How sad that we
are inflicting this among our animal friends as well as the human race.

I wonder if Dogs who undergo c/s at vets are prone to not wanting their young.
That may be somewhere to go. But then that could be the fact that they had the c/s
as well as not eating the placenta - you may need to get a vet to help with a control
study.
