Please help!! Sorry to admin if this is posted in wrong section, But I wanted it to get noticed as much help as possible.
OK first I would like to start by saying please Understand I am not a bad person..I have been a YT member long enough to know I'm risking ridicule and judgment by sharing this situation. But I really want expert advise not a heated debate on how irresponsible I am and how I am a horrible person...
Chloe is almost 8 months old now. I purchased her and her brother(And gave the brother to my mom to ease the pain of a recent loss of her other dog) I was going to have Chloe spayed, But My family asked if I would breed her once. Now I am no breeder, And have no desire to do it for money, or more than once. I did however plan on breeding her in her second heat cycle or later based on research, I wasn't going to go in blindly, I would want to learn everything possible first.. The offspring were going to go to my family only. I have 2 aunts, A sister and A cousin who are very responsible people, Who love Chloe and would love them..Obviously if she had a small litter they were gonna have to draw straws, And if more I would find a home to my Immediate friends (For no monetary gain.) Or even keep one myself.
So with that said Chloe went into her first heat cycle about 2-3 weeks ago she started bleeding and her vulva was very swollen. About 5 days into her cycle My partner went into the hospital (he is still in there) With pneumonia and they found a mass in his lung while doing a broncia-scope. So I was spending a lot of time at the hospital, And Chloe had never been apart from me, as I am a stay at home daddy. So I felt horrible for her she was freaking out!! I decided to give her to my mother for the weekend so she could be looked after better, And I could rest assured she was OK, And focus on my partner. I knew this would be an issue as bear (the male puppy aka Chloe's brother) wasn't neutered.(Which my moms vet told her to wait as hes having teeth issues and he wanted to do both at the same time and hes scheduled for both later this month.) I bought diapers for Chloe so he couldn't penetrate as well as little short type pants for her to wear, As well as leaving specific instructions to watch them so closely, joking we didn't want any 6 toed babies.
Now its been a few weeks from her period and her nipples are still extended and larger, Even tho her vulva has shrunk. And it was only today that It really hit me SHE LOOKS PREGNANT!!!! Her stomach looks bigger! Theres no way my mom has assured me, And says that they never were locked. She says he was trying to hump her throughout the weekend but was sure he couldn't have impregnated her as the diaper was always on when he was around her. Well Ive done research and found that they do not have to lock to impregnate. I have also seen that a sign could be if they throw up yellow bile, (which she did today) I am sure she tried but if she was letting them play who knows what can happen in the blink of an eye..(how with the diaper I don't know)
I called my vet and have set up an x-ray for Monday (which is also the day my hubby gets released from the hospital) And I'm praying she isn't, But if she is, And I am the worst owner ever, And I allowed incest what can I expect.. Do i abort the pregnancy (which I read can be dangerous)?Am i crazy to consider letting her birth the litter if she is as some sites claim they can lead a normal life. I'm just feeling horrible right now, And nobody can beat me up worse than me, So please try and be helpful by not attacking me.
