I bred a bitch for her first time. She was 5 in a half years of age. She had 8 pups but had to have them by way of C-section. I took her to the vet at about 67 days from the day she was last stuck. After X-rays and all that we decided to hit her with the oxytocin. The vet gave her 3 shots of oxytocin periodically. So one shot, we waited... no go. Another shot and so on. After 3 injections and some time later, no real mucus plug no nothing. She was acting the same. I ended up going with the C-section to be safe. I don't know if she would have had them naturally had I went home. That's the story.

So, do you guys think the age she was bred for the first time played a role in her not being able to deliver them?

Do you think I would encounter the same problem if she was to be bred again?
