 Need advice - possible unplanned breeding
Okay, this is going to be a long story.
As most of you know, I help out with my dad's Yorkies (he breeds pet Yorkies). Anyway, a little over a year ago we sold a female to a gal in North Carolina. She flew out, met us, and took her puppy home with her. A couple of months ago, she contacted us again about a playmate for her girl, and we had a male, half brother to her girl, that we thought would be a perfect match for the family. The male was already 7 months old, a real sweetie and I knew that Daisy (the female Yorkie) and Wyatt (the boy) would get along great.
As soon as he got to his new home he was neutered as planned (we sold both dogs on limited registration, plus, Wyatt and Daisy have the same father and their mothers are sisters - though the mothers are unrelated to the father). For whatever reason, Daisy has not been spayed. Anyway - 4 days after his neuter, Wyatt and Daisy apparently tied. Now, I wasn't there, so this is all second-hand infromation. This was on the 12th. The new owner says that Daisy is starting to have some mammary swelling and she thinks she may be pregnant.
Here are my questions-
Is it possible for a male to still be fertile after a neuter - and if so, for how long?
Because of the close line breeding that this mating would create, should the pregnancy be allowed to continue?
If not, what is the time-frame for being able to spay a possibly pregnant female? |
