You are more than likely looking at a c-section for delivery so save up your money! It's great that you have a good relationship with your vet.
I had called my vet once to ask about terminating a pregnancy (from a question posted here on YT). He said that with smaller dogs, it can be extremely dangerous (he deals with yorkies a lot) and doesn't suggest it because it (the shot) could cause the uterus to contract too hard and it could kill the bitch. If you're considering terminating the pregnancy, I would do as yorkierose suggested and do it now by spay.
My FIL had 2 pregnancies terminated (shot method)...but it was with Vizlas...a larger breed of bird hunting dogs.
Go with the advice of your vet...if you decide to carry till term, have her spayed during the section. I would have her spayed to prevent anymore accidents.
Good luck with your furbutt! |
