I would not spay her as she is going into the 2nd part of her pregnancy. It is too risky especially being a little Yorkie. They have enough problem as it is. Also, if you do end up doing it which the sooner the better, look to see if you have a Animal Birth Control in your area or state. They are also known as the ABC.
I did not take Jemma to the spay clinic. They just don't do everything that would be done in a vets office. For larger breeds it would be fine. But not for my little Jemma. But I contacted the ABC. I sent them 70.00 and they paid the entire spay fee. Now in the state of NJ, I think our vets have the highest fee schedule. In your state, it may not be nearly as much. So ABC may not ask you for as much money as I paid. You would be able to then have this done in a vet's office which would be much safer.
When you bring her to the vet, come back and let us know if she is. We then can help you from there. While crash coarse on whelping, try and found something on the whelping of small breeds. Many people here can give you suggestions on whelping boxes. You don't need to build one. People here have found household items and converted them into a whelping box. Some great ideas by these people!!
But you also need to know that your Yorkie is at risk. Very high. It is not uncommon for them to need a C section. If she does need one and you don't get it, she dies, plain and simple truth. And you need to know who carries that responsibility, you.
So hold her and look at her. And while she is licking you, think what is best for HER! |
This is great help and truth !
That is the kind of advice someone asking should get
