Emergency Veterinary Care for Pregnant & Nursing Pets
Breeding complications and hormonal disorders can pose serious risks to pregnant pets, nursing mothers, or unspayed females. Conditions such as dystocia (birthing difficulties), mastitis (infection of the mammary glands), and hormonal imbalances require immediate veterinary intervention to prevent life-threatening complications.
At North Mississippi Pet Emergency, we provide emergency reproductive support, hormone therapy, and surgical intervention to ensure a safe and healthy outcome for your pet and her newborns.

- Difficulty giving birth (more than 30 minutes of active straining without delivering)
- Excessive bleeding during or after labor
- Swollen, painful mammary glands (mastitis)
- Loss of appetite or lethargy in a pregnant or nursing pet
- Sudden behavior changes, aggression, or depression

FAQ's
My pet is in labor, but nothing is happening. Is this an emergency?
Yes! If your pet has been straining for more than 30 minutes without delivering or appears weak and distressed, they may need a C-section. Bring them in immediately.
What are the signs of mastitis in a nursing pet?
Look for swollen, painful, or discolored mammary glands, fever, and refusal to nurse. Mastitis requires urgent antibiotic treatment.
How can I tell if my pet is having trouble giving birth?
Signs of dystocia (birthing complications) include straining for more than 30 minutes without delivering a puppy/kitten, extreme exhaustion, distress, or green/bloody discharge. Seek emergency veterinary help immediately.
