The OP stated the bitch was already pregnant, so that means to me she is far enough along to see evidence...growing belly etc.
I am fairly tough having bred so many years, but even I would not spay a bitch with pups 5 weeks or more...might do it before I knew..say 2 or 3 weeks...at this point if it was my bitch and the she was as close to 5 pounds as she is, I would go for it and live with my vet.
If it is of any help, the only bitch I ever lost in whelping, 25 yrs ago was a very sturdy 7 1/2 pounder.
I am not encouraging these types of breedings..but it is done..a few drinks was a joke...I am lucky enough to have nerves of steel in these situations...I hope her vet works with her. |
