I understand that French bulldogs must have C-section for birth (reason for cost). If that’s the case, I hope the crooks understand this.

Sure enough they have breed the dogs to almost require c-sections.

There are two particular complications that pregnant French Bulldogs face more often than most other dog breeds: anasarca and dystocia.

Anasarca

Anasarca is the medical term used to describe severe swelling (edema) that can happen right before a French Bulldog mother gives birth. It always endangers the life of both the mother dog and the puppies and requires an emergency C-section.

Dystocia

Dystocia is the medical term that describes a difficult delivery due to the physical impossibility of passing the puppies through the birth canal naturally.

The Kennel Club (UK) states that dystocia is a condition that more commonly affects French Bulldog puppies than most other dog breeds.

Bostons too. If they survive a natural birth, their brains can get squeezed so much, often they’re retarded or have motor issues among other problems. It’s also not going to be a good time for the dam.
