I can only add 'ditto' to the opinions offered here. This would be a VERY risky pregnancy to let go to term. The 300% size difference alone just screams 'danger'! It's not so much the breed difference....it's the size. Mardelin listed some very likely complications both for the whelp and for after.
A couple things I would add. You say you've been so upset that you haven't gone to work, so I take it you have a job. Any job would have to take a back seat to the care of the Mom and pups. And critical care needs could start very early with the Mom...well before her due date and continue on until the pups were weaned, at least. That's assuming things somehow went relatively well.
I know it may be upsetting to think of terminating the pups, but consider this. They are not yet 'pups' but the longer you wait, the greater emotional toll it will take on you to terminate. I just had a cat spayed that was very pregnant (long story that I won't go into here). She came through the procedure fine. I felt pangs of guilt about doing it but knew it was for the best.
I'm not one to easily say to just spay a pregnant dog but, in your case, I feel it is for the best. I wish you the best in making this decision...but please consider all that has been posted here. |
