My little one’s weight is 6lbs I never wanted to breed her. She was supposed to get spayed in October. I do not know anything about breeding or pregnancy, etc. She had an encounter with an eight pound Chihuahua. My little one was outside and I started to run to her I didn’t even think anything happened He wasn’t even really humping her hard then he just got off her and they were just standing butt to butt. When I reached her I freaked out they were stuck together. I called the emergency vet! They told me the dogs would correct themselves. All I could think about was omg I have to rush them to the ER.
So, after acting like an idiot on the phone and yelling at the Chihuahua’s owner (even though now when I think about it it’s my fault) while waiting for the little ones to correct themselves I googled what on earth happened. I found out that the world calls it a tie.
I’ve been trying to research online what to do about this situation. I grabbed a copy of the complete guide to dog breeding by Dan Rice. I don’t know if she’s pregnant, but I don’t want to be unprepared. Should I go to the vet right now, even though they can’t tell if she is pregnant or not? I read online that once we do the x rays the vet can figure out how big the babies are and if she can give birth to the puppies.
I am so scared. I don’t know what to do. I love my little one more than anything. I didn’t want puppies. But I WILL take responsibility for what happened. I just need to know if what I am doing is correct. I started a calendar and noted what day the tie happened on. I counted the days and I put down the ultrasound dates and the x-ray dates. I understand that there is a larger risk for a c-section because the male was bigger than she is. I am prepared to pay for all the medical care. I don’t want to just sit here and read. I feel like there has to be more that I can do to prepare myself. I know there will be more bumps on the road ahead. Please doesn’t lecture, I already understand my horrible display of irresponsible dog ownership. I know that I sound extremely naive about everything, but that’s because I am. I love my little one; I just want to do everything that’s in my power for the best possible outcome.
