I personally don't think that helping with the delivery will cause the mother to abandon the puppies. Just make sure you let her clean them and stuff too. You can't do ALL the work for her.
My chi that needed a section did not want the pups after the surgery and actually growled at them. But she was not in labour before she had her c-section. She was probably wondering where the hell all those pups came from lol. It took her a few hours to get used to the fact that they were hers but everything was fine in the end. If for some reason you do have to get a c-section done and she is not in labour before it, make sure you have mammalac or another milk replacer available just in case she does refuse them.
Just wondering if other people have had any trouble with the bitch rejecting the puppies after being handled to much during delivery? Im wondering cause I am always right in there when my dogs are delivering and I have never had a problem.
