Yes, accidents happen and no one has blamed you for that. But, now, you must step up and take care of your 5 lb little one. It's about HER and what's best for HER.
And, I must say, I believe that everyone has posted with remarkable restraint.
This would not be a hard decision for me - at all. |
I have a 5 1/2 pound Champion girl that had whelped two litters successfully, both litters of 2. I bred her a 3rd time to my Denny, however, this time she concieved 4 pups.....she was much too small to carry to term....she whelped 4 pups 1 week premature, 2 didn't make it and the other 2 were touch and go for a bit. So, not only the size should be considered but how prolific a girl is.....
