Built for breeders preparing for planned caesarean, neonatal receiving, dam recovery, feeding safety, puppy monitoring, mastitis awareness, emergency vet escalation and litter records — before the clinic calls and the puppies arrive.

Who This Is For
This toolkit is for serious brachycephalic breeders preparing for a planned veterinary caesarean and the first 14 days of intensive neonatal monitoring.
- British Bulldogs
- French Bulldogs
- Pugs

Why the First 14 Days Matter

Emergency Vet Escalation Cards
Printable cards for caesarean day, puppy emergencies, dam emergencies and milk-from-nose situations — designed to be on the wall before the planned caesarean window.
First 24-Hour Puppy Monitoring Log
Hourly observation rows for breathing, latch, warmth, weight and behaviour to support earlier veterinary escalation if a puppy starts to fade.
Daily Puppy Weight Checker
14-day weight grid for every puppy in the litter, designed to surface failure-to-thrive patterns before they become emergencies.
Dam Post-Caesarean Recovery Log
Structured recovery observations covering appetite, hydration, lochia, mammary checks and behaviour through the critical recovery window.
Mastitis Red Flag Card
At-a-glance reference of warning signs that warrant immediate veterinary contact, written for tired breeders during night shifts.
Vet Call Preparation Sheet
Helps breeders communicate clearly with their veterinarian or emergency clinic when seconds and clarity matter.
Safety Boundaries
This toolkit does not teach breeders to diagnose or treat puppies or dams. It does not replace veterinary care, emergency veterinary advice or reproductive specialist guidance. It does not guarantee puppy survival, dam safety or prevention of complications.
