In my experience with my second litter, the c-section cost me significantly more in Mandeville, Louisiana, versus what it cost me in Dallas, Texas.

French bulldogs, due to their anatomy and physical characteristics, can face more difficulties and complications during a C-section compared to other dog breeds. French bulldogs have a brachycephalic (short-nosed) skull, which can make it harder for them to breathe, especially during surgery. They also have a narrow pelvis and larger head size, which can make delivery difficult and increase the likelihood of a C-section.
It’s important to work with a veterinarian experienced in performing C-sections on French bulldogs to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcome for the mother and her puppies.
