They assured me that she would be in a play area of her own or with neutered dogs so there wouldnt be an issue. It was a busy day that day and since it was Lucy's first time at a real groomers they ask me to leave her for the day. needless to say we are expecting puppies now and with alot of research the groomer has decided that the father is a chihuahua! Im scared, we cant afford a huge vet bill and my biggest concern was we didnt even discover this until 4 weeks ago when an elderly woman came in my office and told me she was expecting! I went to the vet and they confirmed that she had all the signs but ws too early for a xray. Decided against xray as it is 100.00 and they say it is not really good for them to have. Lucy is not verry big, she has gained some weight and is verry lazy now but other than that she is not bulging, is this normal? She has been verry tired, wont eat her eggs in the morning but wants meat all the time. please help with any advise, My Lucy is my whole world, Ive had her since she was 4 months old and I love her dearly. she will be 3 in August. this is the first time for this to happen was thinking about breeding this summer wanted to get more educated, did not expect Chorkies! Im so disapointed this has happened to her! |
Are you positive she is pregnant? Are you feeling the puppies move? If she is pregnant and due any day you would be feeling some movement. When did the vet last see her? If he looked at her a month ago it is possible he was wrong about her being pregnant. If she is not big and you are not feeling movement then she could be having a false pregnancy.
I would think that if she is pregnant that the groomers would be willing to help with any vet bills.
