This is a quote from a canine reproductive specialist with more education and experience than most general veterinarians in the specific area of breeding and reproduction of dogs, so if you are asking what I would have done had the mistake happened with one of my dogs...I would have sought the advice of a canine theriogenologist and maybe more than one even before deciding what was best for my dog. Maybe I would have also chosen the option your friend did, but I would have sought more than the advice of a general vet now that i know that these specialists exist.
But, that is just me and do not fault your friend for following the advice of her vet whom she obviously trusted.
I do believe what the theriogenologist says however, that the pup(s) will grow to the size that is allowed in any given dogs womb and that is it. It is a scientific fact and makes sense in nature. I don't look upon this as an opinion, but rather as a scientific fact that is not subject to debate. |
First of all, if the puppy grows as big as it can in the womb isn't it more likely that if the father is bigger than the mother the puppy will end up being born premature or the mother will need a c-section? Second of all, what is the historical evidence that constitues what she says is a fact and not a theory? In order to be considered a scientific fact what she says has to have overwelming evidence and experiments. If it was experimented it would be considered immoral. Has this lady composed an observational study at least of people who have chosen to put their dogs through this? I always ask questions. People can put ANYTHING the internet, but what you chose to believe is up to you.
