Brave Dog has a Complicated Pregnancy with a Crazy Outcome! | Bondi Vet 

Okay, I have stopped at the 9:23 mark because I am shocked that these owners were not prepared to have these pups. No berthing area for the mom, the dad was holding his dog when in labour, kids mauling the dog. GRRR!! Let the dog do it's own thing, yes watch but give it space in a nice comfy quiet corner. You can use RU-vid for help in what to do if your a new breeder or ask for help. Now to finish the video.

She has a dog that is overdue and she is clueless about the labor. Lady you should have started reading before the dog was even pregnant!!! I can't even watch such episodes these kind of people make me sick.

These owners had no idea what to do or what they were doing. Thank goodness for Dr. Scott but felt very sorry for the fur baby.

i dont know why they waited until she was overdue to find out how many puppies she was going to have and not even knowing for sure. its easily visible far earlier and if she had delivered naturally, on time and at home how the hell would she (a first time dog grandma) would know that bonnie got all of them out or if she was simply too exhausted to push anymore. I know that people think that a dog will enjoy being a parent and all that but its really selfish to breed a dog like this (not a breeder, breed that is a purebred or breeding out bad genes like in pugs, and not even knowing or particularly caring where the puppies will go, i know dr. scott would be a wonderful choice but the way she offered just seemed like she would be offering them to everyone.)

Sorry how can you breed if you have nonidea what to do?

Just bc someone is grieving the death of a loved one is no excuse at all to contribute to the deaths of thousands of innocents in shelters every day. Go adopt one instead. You'd get the same level of comfort and more, knowing you saved a life.

She wanted one more dog so she risked her dog to breed six. Math checks out.

The birth of Skully! Hopefully they don't breed Bonnie again and they get her sterilised, after the complications during the birth

I got chills when he said Bonnie has been in labor for 7 hours, I can't even imagine the pain she was going through

How does she not know anything about delivering/assisting in the care of newborn puppies if she chose to breed her dog? How can she not do research????

Bonnie is such a supermom. 6 babies! That's a lot for a first time mum. Good work by the team getting them all through safely.

Why would a person go into this without knowing just what to expect?

That family was absolutely ridiculous poor Bonnie

It so sad to see how irresponsible owners can be, oh “having puppies will be nice” yet she had no idea what to do and thought it would be a great idea. Those poor puppies in shelters getting killed cause of over population. I understand puppies are cute but that’s not enough to put them through this.

Why didnt the dog have a space to give birth. No wonder she had a hard time giving birth, this was such a stressful situation for her. People constantly touching her, holding her and there being nothing for her to nest or make a spot to have the babies. Dogs are pregnant for two-three months, seeing as this was planned it was planned horribly.

I can’t watch this. Makes me so angry and sad for that poor dog!

To me one of the big mistakes made by the owners was not having the x-ray done. Dr. Scott was basically going in blind when he did the C-section because they did not want to risk their dog. Amount of radiation exposure would’ve been very little and for just a moment so there was really no danger. But him having a incomplete ultrasound really did not help matters. I don’t blame Dr. Scott but the owners

I'm surprised they didn't even have a nest for Bonnie... The owner can easily research on how to prep for a birth. Too much noise and attention is not a good thing for a dog who's giving birth. I'm also shocked that she didn't just go to the shelter where there is a huge selection of puppies and dogs who need wonderful homes. I'm glad Dr. Scott is there to help this poor dog though. Could have been a lot worse. Please neuter/spay your pets.

OH, LET'S BREED ONE LOVELY DOG TO ANOTHER LOVELY AND MAKE PUPPIES THAT WE HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING. HOW ABOUT A BRAIN!

Bonnie should not have to go through that .... I understand they wanted a puppy but it seems like torture for her.... To me it is TORTURE.... Hope her pups are OK.... The owner did not do what is best for her... she was hurting and the doctor had to cut her open....

They really are extremely clueless as to what you do for any dog in this situation, so sad ... And so needless with all the dogs in shelters waiting for a good home!

Having her help rub that puppy to life hopefully showed her just how dangerous the situation was and she might get her dogs spayed in the future.

This was a nightmare. I bred my dog and I spent months preparing before her heat, watching all the birthing videos possible and reading every possible literature. I even made sure I had veterinarian tools on hand to assist in labour and multiple vets on speed dial. The fact that this lady did no preparation is maddening

I'm a CVT and Bonnie and Sebastian need to be neutered and spayed. X-ray isn't going to hurt the pups. Where is the whelping box and the quiet area for her to labor. I have attended many births and the lack of preparation is horrible. This whole video has made me angry. Shelters are overwhelmed. Adopt not shop.

The way she was so cavalier to the neighbour lady about "Oh can your dog come over?" Like it's some cute little game. No! There is no need to contribute to pet overpopulation just because you had a "crazy idea." I'd expect that logic from a six-year-old. C-sections on animals are much more risky than on humans, because the animal has to be put under and the anaesthesia affects the babies as well. That's why it took so long to get all the puppies breathing. I was certain at least one wasn't going to make it - they were very lucky. And that lady, after casually breeding her dog, didn't even bother to do an internet search for what to do with a dog in labor? "I don't know if I'm supposed to be there with scissors" and the poor dog's already overdue. The radiation from one x-ray is completely negligible, and the vet probably would have started the C-section earlier if he knew how many puppies were in there. Would have saved the poor mama dog suffering and prevented so much potentially deadly stress on the puppies. I hope these people learned their lesson! Spay and neuter your pets!

As a nurse...I have the incredible privilege of assisting in birth. It is always very special and just awe-inspiring! Sometimes no words...just tears for our patients. Either way I love my job and I have a respect for Bondi vet because they do so much for all of these animals!

Wonderful dogs - but I hope that they don't breed her again -aside from other reasons this process was brutal on the dog.

Poor dog. This was such a greedy move from the owners. Eurgh. Plus, I bet this dog could have given birth on her own if the owners were prepared. She needed a birthing area and calm, not being held and caressed by everyone... Infuriating !

I'm glad that mom & babies survived & are doing well. However, I do believe that having the mom dog become pregnant to get over the death of a loved one is selfish & putting your pet's life & the life of her unborn babies in danger is just down right cruel & heartless. And, those puppies should only be adopted after they have been weaned from mom.

The more I watch the BondiVet series, the more I am stunned about all of the dogs and cats giving birth both in the UK and Australia. Here in Canada It's practically law everywhere to have your pets spayed or neutered. Of course that is not true in all cases, but you cannot go to any shelter and adopt a pet without it having been de-sexed. Usually they have been micro-chipped as well. Buying from "breeders" is highly discouraged. The other thing we do here is catch and release feral cats. The cats are trapped, spayed or neutered, the ear tip is clipped and they are released back to their colonies. The cats live their lives outdoors but cannot ever breed again thus keeping the feral populations down.

Honestly, if someone had given me a puppy after my husband died, and I had to go through all this kind of extra fear and stress about their health, on top of all the training the puppy needs, I would have moved to the moon and never spoken to them again. Don't do this to people or to dogs.

It's the business model, but I sure wish vets would stop encouraging "just because" breeding. I wish they'd strongly encourage every pet to be neutered ASAP. Very few breeds of cat or dog actually need to be bred. This dog's pain was unnecessary, and somewhere, dogs or pups will be euthanized simply because these pups took up homes that would have been available to rescues.

Why on earth did you put your dog into that risk when you KNEW you had never ever tried it before? That is SO stupid.

Just spay and neuter your animals so this will not happen! Poor baby!

Scott is such a compassionate vet. Even when the situation is not the best he never condemns and always does his best.

Animals often won’t give birth until they are alone .

This makes me angry. People who have no clue putting a poor animal through unnecessary pain and torture for what....for their own selfish reasons . Not knowing anything about pregnancy , nothing about the animals needs during prep for birthing and labor , disgusting I would have made this a teaching moment to these people and made it clear that this was unnecessary.

If you did not try to breed her, this would not have happened. Why do people think that when they love their pet so much that their babies will be copies of them. It does not work that way, like with people.

honestly this pisses me off so much. she should know having a child is not easy, especially birthing out multiple and having to look after each, then having them get taken away from her. LIKE WHAT! and it's all because of a death. that poor dog. the owners put thier dogs life at risk because of a selfish move and also wasn't prepared, she didn't have any equipment and thank God scott was here, if I were her I would also be asking if I could help doing as much as possible. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SELFISH!!!!

puppies might not have been the best idea, with the overpopulation of dogs already and obviously it ended up being dangerous for poor Bonnie and the pups. Either way, im glad it ended happily

Seriously. You breed your dog because there is a death in the family?. Ridiculous more mutts coming into the world that will likely end up on the streets or kill shelters. Death you can’t avoid so sorry that this woman is taking this death in a horrible way by ruining their poor dog. I would if said they should get another dog but I see how they treat this one they shouldn’t own dogs at all

Why do you go ahead and breed your dog with zero prior information about the subject of breeding? You could have just bred a puppy with some sort of deadly or painful mutation. Spay your dog, she's not even made to be able to give birth safely, and you're not informed enough to continue keeping her safe.

Another one of those half-baked ideas...🙄 Highly irresponsible, selfish and heartbreaking!

That dog needed a quiet dark area with people not hovering. No wonder it couldn’ progress.

I'm sorry but I have to give this video a downvote because this story of breeding the dog just because the family was sad after the loss of the woman's father is completely ridiculous.

I would never put my baby through that.

The look on Sofie's Face. "Did I just kill my Dog for something I could have done by going to the pound?"

Someone I know plans on breeding their dog because she's 'too hyper' and they somehow think it'll calm her down. The stupid reasons non-breeders breed their dogs will never fail to amaze me

As much as I love your videos this 1 this 1 greatly upsets me. I don't understand why they would add to the over populationinstead of going to instead of going to a rescue and adopting a dog. Give one that's here a second chance of life don't create more that might not have a home.

What an irresponsable dog owner, getting puppies without any knowledge?! Not knowing ANYTHING about what to do, no health checks before mating, no checkups and not even reading up on whelping. Poor dog and poor puppies.

Sad that Sophies children are learning that's its ok to breed your animal. Hope they can learn about dog shelters and what goes on there (and why).

Bonnie’s teeny whimpers were heart-rending. What a brave, sweet girl! I was rooting for the C section myself; it was clear the vet really wanted to get it done. Fantastic result, but I’m predicting that no one will have the nerves for any more puppies!

Vet Assistant: "I'm getting so emotional." Me: Yeah, me too sister, me too.

34 seconds in and I'm already annoyed that she bred her dog without knowing anything about the birthing process. Imagine being pregnant with multiple babies and having the doctors and nurses just shrug their shoulders at you like "We have no idea what we're doing".

I find this very upsetting. How is it this dog's responsibility to get a family through the grieving of loss a family member? If Bonnie had passed I would have been disgusted with these people. What would the vet have said if they had run this by him first.

We have so many dogs and cats that need to be adopted in shelters. Why do people keep making babies? It angers me . Dogs and cats are getting murdered daily because everyone wants a kitten or puppy. If there weren't any puppies or kittens then people would adopt adult animals

Poor Bonnie. It even a need for it. Maybe this owner should go through a pregnancy for "fun."

Why would *anyone* purposely mate their dogs for more puppies? Unless she is going to sell them for profit. Also please have her groomed. [ Call me a you know what but matted coats and dirty hair can start to be painful] .If she doesn't know how to whelp her mother dog there are *lots* of videos to watch on how to set up a whelping area. Many use a kiddie wading pool. And dogs can have dogs with no assistance. Just in emergencies.

Why would you breed your dog without doing any research and saying you're "scared because you've never done anything like it before"?? Like you're putting that poor dog (a living breathing animal) at risk just to take your mind off the loss of a loved one- imagine your friend lost their partner and made you get impregnated and have a baby because they were sad 💀

I love how he always greets his patients. Dr. Scott has an absolutely wonderful bedside manner! And I find it interesting that SOME of of the same drugs are used. Poor mama. My memories of pitocin are NOT fond ones.

Aww! The sound of the first puppy's cry choked me up. I'm a retired pediatrician. We don't attend every birth, only in certain situations, but even after 20 years I felt emotional witnessing every birth.

Scott is so lovely,he realy cares about the animals ,but also is supportive of the owners ,he’s one special person ,love his family to

Hi Bondi Vet team. I'm Leonardo. I love your videos and they are very interesting, especially because on September i'll start the technical course of a vet nurse. I would like to ask you if there is a possibility of sometimes showing the operations and procedures without bluring it. As a vet nurse student that would be very interesting to see it all. Would that be possible or maybe even have a member thing on RU-vid where the operations are unblured? I LOVE your videos and that would be very cool! Thanks for the educational time that i'm having watching your videos!

the owners are so annoying and entitled. go to the shelter if you want another dog. and if your dog is pregnant at least go to the vet and inform yourself. omg.

Umm, so this owner lost her dad and to compensate for that grief she breeds her dog, who is now put in danger. WTF is wrong with her? Dear God, why are people so stupid?

Sick of not seeing them educate owners and viewers on backyard breeding. It’s disgusting

No reason to breed dogs anywhere in the world⁉️Way too many without homes as it is. Stupid reaction to grief. Shame on you. Rescue, don’t breed.

I hope that every time this monstrous, self-indulgent family considers breeding this dog who is unfortunate enough to be subjected to their whims, they watch 16:25 and 9:32 on repeat.

I love how she's sad because she's seeing her dog nearly lose her life but she's the one who forced it pregnant bc she was sad 💀

Ugh, backyard breeders aggravate me so much 😠

THHE OTHER OPTION WOULD HAVE BEEN THE HUMAN MOTHER POPPED OUT ANOTHER HUMAN BABY..THAT WOUL DHAVE MADE AS MUCH SENSE AS HER BREDDING THE DOG.

Chances are, none of the parents were health tested or anything. Seeing how uneducated Bonnie's owner is.

Dr Scott you are so dedicated to your patients 😍

I was so disappointed at the end when they said "what a result" , like numbers matter, all they care about is money in the end otherwise they would have kept all the puppies. I don't think they gave the puppies for free. I sterilised my Lady because there are so many abandoned puppies on the streets. At least here in Romania. From what I know puppies should be with their mother at least for 8 weeks so they better take care and don't sell them too quickly

It makes me disgusted like everyone else. My husband died and it would've been irresponsible for me to say, "Hey kids, I know that we're all grieving your dad's passing, but hey! Why don't we get a dog or a bunch of puppies?" Gosh! SMH!

Please now desex Bonnie so she doesn’t have to go through that again for the entertainment of her owners 🙄

Breeding isn't all fun and games. She's hoping there's 'lots of little ones in there' to pay her vet bill.

This owner is incredibly irresponsible. Getting her dog pregnant on a lark, not bothering to educate herself on the birthing process, and not accounting for the countless animals in shelters who could have gone to those homes instead of newborn puppies is ignorant of the root cause of why thousands of unwanted animals are euthanized every year because "ohhhhh, cute puppies!!". I'm sorry for her grief, but shame on this woman.

would have been far better to get the dog spayed in the first place !

A labour for 7+ hours with SIX pups, and ALL of them are healthy and well? That's a wonderful miracle. You can tell they love their Bonbon so much.

What a sad thing to put your dog through. Humans are selfish in the worst way. So many unwanted dogs to save, all breeding should be paused until we get the brutality under control.

Scott is an absolutely wonderful Veterinarian!

I wish breeders would quit breeding for "fashionable" looks at the expense of health and birthing complications. Adopt, dont shop, and dont but from home breeder and puppy mills.

It might’ve been better to get a dog from a dog rescue that needs a home rather than breed and risk your dogs life in pregnancy. There are 100’s of dogs that need homes in t uk. Especially for older people.

My good….the poor dog has a lot of “clever People’s “ and a stressed owner….not a varm and carm situation to give birdth in🥵 let the motherdog be alone with her puppies in peace and silence…without all this people

So she let her dog become pregnant because she lost a man in her life... how is that normal

Great more unwanted puppies born to the world. AND BRUSH YOUR DOG!!!!!

My dog looks like these dogs and puppies, but he's a rescue from the streets of Mexico. I'm very lucky to have gotten my dog as a rescue, he looks like a "designer" dog (whatever that means) but yes, I don't really support breeding either :( At least the vet was involved to make sure everything was healthy and safe though

‘Selfish’ and ‘ignorant’ are the words that come to mind. They don’t face their grief over losing her father. They deliberately put their dog (vet and staff, family) through unnecessary stress and pain for their own selfishness.

One of Bonnie's pups became Skully, Scott's family's dog. (Jan Griffiths).

Fur-grands of 6, Sophie & Tom must be shocked. Bonnie really shouldn't have to go through this again. One pregnancy is more than enough for a mum. 6 puppies at once - WOW, & she is such a small dog. Love the "coffee stained ones."

At least six dogs from the pounds being put down because they don't get homes... You all get to see life happen , others get to see death. If you want to see life go work in some shelters with abandoned pregnant dogs and cats.

I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW! Thank you for sharing the lovely birth with the world! Congratulations to the entire family - human and canine! :-)

Wish we had vets that cared enough to make house calls in the USA!

Scott and his team are absolutely amazing

people are so irresponsible.. your dog isnt a test subject for your kids to learn from..

these complications could of been avoided if they had her spayed and adopted a dog who needed a home instead of breeding without experience

Under title should ready selfish owner makes a hair brain decision to mate her dog with the neighbours so her mum won’t be lonely. Here’s another hair brain decision - go to a shelter and adopt a unwanted dog!

Love at first sight LMAO ! Was love at first Smell! So many unwanted animals! PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER!

I love your little nurse lady that teared up. She is so sweet. I was cheering when all six were breathing and I kind of teared up too.
