Question 1. - You should begin counting from the first tie.
Question 2. - X-rays should be taken on or near day 55 and YES they are needed(especially under your circumstances). Your female is very small and the xray will tell you how many she is expecting, the babies size and allow you to properly see if she can even have them on her own or if a c-section should be scheduled. I would have to say most likely she will need a c-section, but your vet will determine that after the x-ray.
Question 3. - The dangers you should know are many since it is her first heat and your female isn't mature enough for this breeding. You can lose your female from this breeding and should watch her closely.
There are so many reasons this should not have taken place, however I hope I have answered your questions for you without being hurtful and negative. I wish you the best!" - tiggerr36792
I love the way you handled the situation. Instead of bashing her like many other people on here you tried to help her. I find that very caring of you. We all make mistakes or make choices in a lapse of judgment. Thanks for helping her instead of putting salt on a wound! |
I do my best to be helpful in a non-hurtful way ty for noticing and your kind words! Although I do have to say allowing this female to make an attempt at whelping this litter is NOT recommended
