You need to talk to your vet asap about spaying her right away. A female who has not had a litter before should not be bred after three years old. At four, her pelvic bones aren't flexible anymore which can cause complications during delivery in a toy breed dog. How big is she? Your Schnauzer? Carrying puppies from a larger breed dog can be very dangerous.
An emergency spay may be the best way to safeguard her life. |
She is about 8lbs so she is a fairly large yorkie...I don't consider her "toy" or "tea cup" and the schnauzer is 12lbs. I understand it is dangerous. I really do feel very badly that I don't know enough about dog pregnancy and complications. I just never really intended for this to happen. I'm trying to be responsible and do everything I can now. Thanks for the advice.
