There are no NON Risk answers here. If it is dangerous to spay her when she is pregnant it is also very dangerous to let her go ahead with this pregnancy. What if she has more than one pup in there, multiple pups in the uterus>>> higher risk of insufficency within the womb >>> emergency C section or spay even before the pups come to term.
You, as you admit are not a breeder, nor I presume planned on breeding. There is just so much you need to know; need to be prepared for, for the health of your dam and potential pups that you through your own lack of experience and knowledge, place your Dam at a huge risk.
I truly believe based on what you have told us, that the best option is to spay your girl now. |
The risk of spaying her would primarily be a risk of anesthesia. Would be better (safer) to take that risk now rather than wait until she is in labor and under stress.
I would NEVER allow such a pregnancy to continue. Spaying is the best choice, and the sooner done the better. The risks to the babies and the Mom do not end with delivery. The OP's inexperience only compounds the risks that would be there for even the most experienced breeder.
