I have a female Yorkie that is 5 years old. I never intended for her to get pregnant. Apparently, her and a male yorkie pup (6 months old) I was taking care of for a week mated. I wasn’t even aware that she had went into heat. My vet told me that sometimes the presence of a male can trigger a female to go into heat.
About 30 days after the male went back to his owner (my nephew) I noticed my female was vomiting and had a loss of appetite. I took her to he vet, he ran tests and had a sonogram done. That was when he discovered she was pregnant.
Now I am trying to decide what to do. I don’t want to put my female at risk as she may have complications with delivery. She is only 3 lbs and 8 ounces. The male was probably 4 lbs. Should I let my female go to term and give birth or should I terminate the pregnancy?
Being a dog lover, this is a very difficult decision to make. I know that many of you will probably pass judgement and make negative comments to this post. But that won’t change the present situation. But I would like to hear from those people that can offer their opinion.
Thanks!
