Key Points

The study aims to evaluate amniotic fluid glucose and cortisol as markers for neonatal maturity in puppies delivered by caesarean section.
Assessed amniotic fluid from 12 high-risk pregnant dogs after elective or emergency caesarean sections.
Collected amniotic fluid from 24 pups at delivery for analysis of glucose and cortisol levels.
Recorded survival at birth and neonatal mortality within 48 hours.
Liveborn pups had significantly higher amniotic glucose levels than stillborn pups.
Live pups showed lower cortisol levels compared to stillborn pups.
Overall, survival rates at birth were slightly higher in the elective group compared to the emergency group.
