In your statement of YT members being there to help with the whelp. Two thoughts on that. The OP came on asking for expert advice it was given, and I don't think the OP liked the advice. That being said, I'm not so sure assistance will be readily given with someone that is not receptive to advice. |
See, there you go, the OP really needs to start doing a ton of research if she doesn't want to take any of the advice, and I will add well meaning advice, of the experienced breeders on this forum.
If she feels so convinced Bee will be okay, based on phone calls to 15 vets, then she should be doing the research to make sure that is the truth, especially when her pup's life is at risk.
I hate to think anyone would be so spiteful as to withhold help for this little dog because the OP didn't take their advice.[/QUOTE]
In some cases things may turn out ok and I pray Bee does come out ok. But, those that do make it ok, it's usually with an experienced, well prepared person overseeing the whelp. Bee's owner has fallen apart and made this all about herself. A good breeder anticipates and prepares for the worst and prays for the best. Crying and falling apart is not what Bee needs....she needs a strong owner that she can trust will make everything safe for her.
Bee was put into this unfortunate situation by not making the right choices for her to begin with. To insure she has a long healthy life, it'll take making the right choices for her from here on out.
I'm not sure if Bee's breeder would be very happy. But, if Bee was of my breeding and an unauthorized breeding took place (and this is within my contract along with a spay/nueter clause) I would be there to confiscate this little girl and I'd have her at the vets making sure that she had every opportunity for a continued healthy, happy life.
