as for the future of this whole situation, you are going to have to really do research. i'd find a yorkie breeder from YTCA and fast that can help you in the whelp so you don't loose your bitch, because you are in over your head now and i wouldn't trust anyone but an experienced breeder at this point, not even the vet, but if the vets all you've got at least use him to your fullest ability. you know what you did was wrong so you don't need preaching, but you do need to find someone to walk you through this so your baby survives it. and then spay and neuter those dogs and let this be a lesson to you and to all others what happens when you don't listen to the vet and spay/neuter. don't think that you know what to do, because at this point you'll never be able to research enough fast enough. just find someone that knows how to do this and ask them to be there during the whelp and help you. since it's your first whelp you just won't know what to do and you'll need them there. i wish you luck that your bitch lives through this and you make it out okay.
this is exactly why we on YT constantly tell others if you cannot afford the vet do not go get a pet...if you don't have money to properly care for your animals you don't deservWhy sacree them and that's a fact! |
Why scare the poster...it is already done...AND I have bred to many fine 6 and 7 pound champions and the bitch was smaller...the number of puppies tends to determine utero size not the stud...shoot, CH Rothby's Rene'Gade was a very big boy..I used him with a 4 3/4 bitch and she free whelped 3 pups..and it was with Roberta's blessing obviously...she thought the breeding was a perfect combo...and it was..produced champions...
I am not trying to cause trouble, but why scare people when the breeding is already done..encourage them to see it through with the best vet help possible...
