| Yorkie abortion / miscarriage at day 52 :( ? More puppies in please help ? ? Hi, I am new here I am desperate looking for an answer I wii tell the story. I have a 2 and half year old yorkie. She was mated on the 18 of April for the first time and on the 21st April second time. She was having a normal pregnancy but suddenly yesterday 52 days pregnant counting from first mating she started having contractions about 9.30 pm her water brakes she had a dead puppy at 1 am. After that she kept licking the puppie trying make him/her ( I don't know) to survive but she couldn't so she stayed in her bed all night looking after her dead puppy. And no more puppies came out. In the morning I took her to the vet who examined her and told me that she was fine her temperature was fine she was eating and drinking ok and she scanned her to see if she had anymore puppies and yes she said she could see a puppy with heartbeat so she told me that the best option was leave her and she how she goes if she can keep that puppie for some more days so it can maybe survive when it's born. Now she looks ok she rested all day in her bed eat some boiled chicken and keeps resting Now my question is have someone ever heard of this ? A premature birth of one dead puppie and the rest goes full term ? Please help me I am worrying so much about my girl I want her to have a Heath puppy but at the same time I don't want nothing to happen to her and if it is her or puppies I want her safe. Do u think it is safe to wait ? |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Unless your vet is a specialist in reproduction, or a very experienced vet in breeding, I would be hesitant to wait. What does the necropsy say on the dead puppy? Did you test for Brucellosis prior to mating, both sire and dam need to be tested. And it truly doesn't matter if they have never been bred to your knowledge before, dogs can pick this STD up in other ways. Brucellosis is one of the top causes for either early or late term mis-carriages. At the minimum you need to know as precisely as possible all the "reasons" why you had a dead puppy at day 52. I hope your female continues to do well, and you get some much needed answers.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Here is a link to Brucellosis Overview of Brucellosis in Dogs: Brucellosis in Dogs: Merck Veterinary Manual Although dogs occasionally become infected with Brucella abortus, B suis, or B melitensis, these sporadic occurrences typically are closely associated with exposure to infected domestic livestock (see Brucellosis in Large Animals). B canis is a cause of abortion at 45–55 days of gestation in kenneled dogs. Dogs are the only definitive host of this organism. Infection has caused a reduction of 75% in the number of pups weaned in some breeding kennels. The disease disseminates rapidly among closely confined dogs, especially at time of breeding or when abortions occur. Transmission occurs via ingestion of contaminated materials or venereal routes. Urine transmission has been reported but seems to be unusual. Both sexes appear to be equally susceptible. Primary signs are abortion during the last trimester of pregnancy without premonitory signs, stillbirths, and conception failures. Prolonged vaginal discharge usually follows abortion. Abortions may occur during subsequent pregnancies. Infected dogs may develop generalized lymphadenitis and frequently epididymitis, periorchitis, and prostatitis. Spondylitis and uveitis are occasional complications. Bacteremia is frequent and persists for ~18 mo after exposure. Fever is not characteristic. Diagnosis is based on isolation and identification of the causative agent or by serology. The organisms can usually be readily isolated from vaginal exudate, aborted pups, blood, milk, or semen of infected dogs. The most widely used serologic test is an agglutination test by a tube or slide method. Nonspecific agglutination reactions occur in some dogs. To eliminate nonspecific antibody reactions, the serum is treated with 2-mercaptoethanol and retested. An agar gel immunodiffusion test performed in some laboratories is quite specific. Other tests, such as immunofluorescence and ELISA, have been used sometimes. Attempts at immunization have not been successful. Control is based on elimination or isolation of infected dogs identified by positive cultural or serologic tests at monthly intervals. Incidence of infection is much lower in kennels where dogs are caged individually. Longterm therapy, eg, with a combination regimen of streptomycin or gentamicin and tetracycline, has been successful in many cases. Neutering of infected dogs is sometimes an alternative to euthanasia. Prevention of canine brucellosis is done by testing before entry and breeding. The disease is reportable in some states. B canis is zoonotic, although cases of human infection are rare and less severe than those caused by the smooth species of the genus. The true incidence is unknown. Diagnostic tests used for smooth species do not cross-react with those for rough species; this may result in a missed diagnosis. In addition, signs of B canis infections may resemble those of other diseases. Appropriate measures to prevent exposure should be taken
