Let me tell you my little story. My Misty, whom I didn't know was in heat got pregnant by my friend's little boy Spitfire. Spitty weighed about 6 lbs and Misty, who was only 16 months old, weighed maybe 4 pounds. Right after it happened, I called my vet. I asked if she wasn't too young, his remark she should not have gotten pregnant when she was under 2 yrs but since he knew her mom and dad, he thought that it would be ok. I also asked about the size difference. My vet recommended that if I wanted the puppy he needed to check her once a week starting at week 4 and I should be prepared for a C-Section.
She did not have a C-section, but quickly delivered on her own a very small little boy. I took both her and the puppy to the vet the next morning and he pronounced them to be in great shape.
I can't and won't tell you what to do. You need to talk to your vet, but make sure that the vet is very knowledgeable in small dogs. Follow his recommendations, not mine. |
