Anywho, according to her last wishes she wanted the dog bred. And i didnt know anything about this until she was literally sat in my lap. Everyone has chosen me since i have children and do not work.... So she is due in sept. I really need to know how to prepare.
Please do NOT bash me. I simply want her takeb care of until her time comes, and then she will be fixed. She was simply dumped on me because I CAN take care of her. I just need to know how! |
First off Im sorry for the loss of your Grandmother.
What kind of dog is she? is she a Yorkie? if so how big is she?
how old is she? has she ever had any pups before?
sence she has been passed around to so many different homes do you know who /what dog mated with her? and if so what size was this male?
I wonder why it was important for your grandmothers last wishes for her dog to be breed. You will probaly need to have her checked out by a vet asap and she will need xrays to see how many and how big those pups are to see if she can deliver them or will need a c-section. you will need to put her on a good quality puppy food.
theres so many things you will need for when its time for her to have those pups. welping box, heating pad. and so much more. you can go to the site below and read up on every thing there. it will tell you what to look for , what you will need and all about when she comes in labor.
Good luck and keep us updated.
