Question
My little Annie is two and a half she had two puppies a year ago by c section not because she had to but for reasons that seem very silly now but she is five weeks pregnant and the top of the scar doesn't look good it looks like a thin protruding cist. the vet told me when he preformed the c section that it would not keep he from giving birth vaginally now i am beginning to doubt my vet i wish i didn't. i tried making an appointment but can't get in for nine days i don't like this

Answer
Hi Judy

I would have to disagree.  Once a section, typically always a section. Not always mind, but usually.

There are a number of reasons for this including a pup can adhere to the scar tissue, the skin is weak/thin and the strain can cause rupturing, similar to what you are seeing.
