Let me tell you a story that COULD happen to Bee.I was young and didnt know any better (maybe 19-20) and definatley didnt know anthing about breeding dogs and having a litter of pups. we lived in the mountians and the only vet around was a horse dr. i came home one day to find that my 6 month old female heeler who was in heat (in my fenced yard) had a male from a neighbor down the road tied to her.he had some how gotten in the fence. while she probably weighed 30 pounds and he was  probably 50 pds, i didnt know there would be a problem if she did get pregnant. well she did. so about 60 days later she went into labor--i called the vets office and they said just watch her, she will be fine. 3 hours of heavy contractions i had to help get the first pup out, 3 more hours of heavy contractions the 2nd pup wasnt comming--i called the vet--they said she will be fine, just takes time. 2  more hours go by--the pup born dead.this was in the afternoon. heavy contractions went on all evening and no more pups were comming. i knew somthing wasnt right and she was having alot of trouble-i called the vet again, and asked if i could bring her in--they said she will be fine and if she hadnt had the rest of the pups by morning to bring her in. she cried all night and was in pain. i called them back and told them she was crying and nothing was happening--they said it was because se was young dog, and she will be fine. my beloved dog died that night in my arms with puppies still in her and i was left with 1 to raise ( a HUGE job in its self) i rased the pup and he was like having a real baby in the house-maybe more work than a real baby= i tell you this story because i wouldnt want this to happen to you. i was young, didnt know any better and had no one to tell me what to do. i only wish i had experienced people to guide me. dont rely on vets that dont know the breed. there was only 1 thing that suffered that night and that was my dog. and it all could have been avioded if i had her spayed early on the pregnancy. (spayed period) that was 25 years ago and her cries, and her death still haunt me.  her death taught me a hard lesson.
 Do you really want something like this possibly happen to BEE?
 
 i wish i had someone be MEAN to me with advice and concern for my girl.
 |  I am so sorry you had to go through this experience. I hope the OP reads this and decides to terminate the pregnancy for the welfare of Bee.
