There are just so many possibilities. Don't forget, females can get pregnant all their lives so you will have to be extra conscientious, her entire life. Panties and bellybands don't work. Also, a first time pregnancy after the age of 4 or 5 is really dangerous. Remember that spaying is much safer than pregnancy, especially with a tiny, and spaying when they're not pregnant is the safest of all. |
Thanks! I would definitely never want her to get pregnant, I think pregnancy for a tiny dog her size would just be plain cruel. I definitely appreciate everyone's advice and will be making her appt sometime soon since the 7 mth mark is arriving!
