Please, do not insinuate that your dog would suffer emotionally if she had an emergency spay or suggest that those who are well researched and with loads of experience in this area gave you poor advice, have unfounded concerns over inbreeding and that they are the ones in need of proper research. That's just insulting and nothing more than an unnecessary attempt to justify your decision. |
I think maybe i was misunderstood or properly did not express myself the way needed. My post was not meant to insult anyone on here as many of you are way more experienced in breeding/whelping then I period. My post was not meant to try and knock the knowledge of you breeders/ experienced whelpers when I stated about research on inbreeding. I simply meant further research would be good and a great source of need to know for some who were possibly unaware about the less chances of the pups being born to first time inbreeding that was all. When I stated as far as the emergency spay, I was only expressing my feelings on some who mentioned to do an emergency spay that was all. I never said that anyone gave me poor advice at all. One's opinions is ones opinions and where most of you who did suggest an emergency spay feel or felt that it should be done, i took another route and will only hope that I will not be bashed in any way for my decision making of allowing her to have her pups. I am extremely new to the breeding world and I personally do not consider this a beginning in my possible wants of wanting to breed either considering the circumstances,but at the end of the day I have chose to be there for her as I feel that it is the right thing to do however please do not mistake me for some person who doesnt care for her or her pups and would have chosen to keep them either way, as I would have chosen to terminate pups if truly and seriously necessary and advice from the vet. Again, apologies if offense was taken as that was far indeed from my intentions. Also, I will be having vet on call as well as an experienced breeder whom i have been chatting with in my area and is willing to come to my home once Treasure goes into labor. So hopefully this will be a great way to experience my first dog labor and delivery experience and god willing hope that all goes well for Treasure and pups. I have to say I am looking forward to this experience. Treasure is just so active still and also she will not take to her whelping box either. She runs around the house half the night sniffing like a mad girl which I will assume she is looking for a nesting place. I have given her free roam of my walk in closet the bathroom and a corner in my room all where I have placed the whelping box. I have even confined her to the bathroom with whelping box in there with no success and I am unsure how to get her used to her whelping box at all. I have even used a blanket that carries her scent on it with no avail. I do not know what to do. And her eating habits are very minimum. She nip picks her food here and there but to me it seems like she isn't consuming enough. Could it be all in my head? As I also stated i before, I have been also giving her cottage cheese 2 times a day...
