I had an appt to get my female spayed, she came in heat, and then we were faced with puppies. (I had the male, also). Never had any intention of having puppies and I did not buy them to breed. Well, I thought I read everything about how to prepare, but after reading all the posts on here, I was not prepared at all. I did get a box for her, blankets and all that, I put it in the dining room, out of the way, and I was with her when she gave birth. But, heat lamps, quiet time, I didn't do any of that. We were lucky, she only had 2 (she is tiny), they were and are healthy, but it still bothers me the things that could have gone wrong. I got them both fixed as soon as possible. I would never breen just because she is in heat, too much can go wrong and then you've lost your baby. |
