Abstract
Case-based data are available to support or recommend best practice for anaesthesia for Caesarean section in cats and dogs. This chapter reviews the available literature, the relevant pharmacological and physiological changes that occur in the parturient small animal patient and, where possible, makes best-practice recommendations for maternal and neonatal patient care.
