Make sure to have already arranged a visit beforehand so that he can dedicate a good deal of time to them. He will confirmed by means of x-ray analysis that the uterus has already started to recover and then there is nothing inside that can cause complications. Besides, he would check each puppy to make sure that they do not have any cardiorespiratory problems or anomalies that you might not have been able to detect.

Likewise, it is very advisable to take any dead puppies along with you so that he can perform the autopsy and determine the causes, as there might be unknown congenital problems which would be good for you to know in case you're thinking of breeding again.
