I would have to say I agree with the others in this case. She is much to young and too small to risk having puppies. Is she showing signs of being pregnant? It seems so odd that she would have had a heat that young and got bred without you noticing, but if you are working such long hours then I guess it could happen. Is there any chance the vet is wrong? Another thing to consider is that if you do let her have puppies, who is going to care for her and the puppies. Since you don't know her due date, when she is getting close to having her puppies she should not be left alone so she will probably need close supervision for a week before her pups are actually born. With her being so small, if she went into labor while you were at work she could die trying to deliver puppies if she ran into a problem. If you choose to let her have pups then you need to find someone to watch her while you are working. How big is the sire? |
