Labor & Delivery Assistance

At Silvercreek Animal Hospital, we understand that welcoming a new litter is an exciting—and sometimes stressful—experience. Whether your pet is expecting her first litter or has had complications in the past, our team is here to provide expert support throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

    • Pregnancy monitoring and prenatal exams

    • X-rays or ultrasounds to estimate litter size and check fetal health

    • On-call support for active labor and delivery

    • Assistance with difficult births (dystocia)

    • Emergency C-sections if needed

    • Postpartum care for mom and newborns

    • Newborn wellness checks

We offer guidance throughout your pet’s pregnancy and are prepared to step in if complications arise. If you're planning a breeding or notice unusual signs during labor (e.g., straining without results, distress, or prolonged gaps between pups/kittens), don’t hesitate to contact us right away.

Call or text 519-837-2770 to speak with our team or get help during labor—we're here to support you and your pet every step of the way.
