A female over 3 years that has never been bred loses elasticity in the uterus. Also, the pelvic bones are set and won't spread as much as one who has been bred. That, coupled with her small size and the male's larger size makes complications more likely. If she whelps, it should probably be done at the vet's office. I think I would opt for termination if it were me. I would just be too scared for my girl to see it through. It's a tough decision to make; good luck to you and your girl.
