Could you take her for a spay? I'd take her back to the vet and ask for one. The last thing you need is pups being born with health issues. If you dont feel comfortable with that then you should prepare in advance for possible health problems and heartache. It is risky. If she needs a c-section, those are very costly. Raising a litter is very costly, even when there arent complications (whelping supplies, puppy pads, goats milk, calcium supplements for mom, and the list goes on).
My yorkie felt thick on her side high up between her ribs and her hips. The nipples enlarge and turn pink, vulva will be a little swollen. She'll be lazy and sleep a lot. My vet couldnt palpate puppies at around day 45 but she was able to feel pregnancy fluid in the uterine horns. |
I wonder if that is what i am feeling by her teats?? When i feel near her teats, i feel something there again not sure how to explain it at all. sorry.. I am not sure if i have the heart to rid her pups either i just am not sure! oh my! what a decision i am going to have to make and fast if she indefinitely is pregnant... If she is pregnant i do not think she is far long yet in her pregnancy im only going based on her stomach not being as "full" as they get. Would I be wrong to let her have her pups considering that i am not comfortable getting her an emergency spay?????? what a nerve wrecking decision!
