title: Cesarean section.
abstract: Cesarean section has become a common surgical procedure and there is a tendency for both veterinarians and their clients to regard it as routine. It is important to remember, however, that a cesarean section entails major abdominal surgery, with inherent risks, irrespective of the prevailing conditions or personnel involved.
