My furgirl Chloe is almost 2 and I found out yesterday she is about 4 weeks pregnant.. the bad news is she typically weighs 2.9-3.2 lbs. The vet said she is expecting at least 3. I am currently in MI.. we usually leave for Fl for the winter in Oct.-Nov. but not this year.
My main concern is ... should I plan on a C-section? This is what was suggested to me by a vet in Fl. should she get pregnant. My daughter said she thought Chloe might have difficulty nursing if she doesn't give birth naturally.
I know she is small but the vet thought she would have only one.. and that she could be neutered after the C section.
We have the male Carlo.. he is just 1 year and weighs close to 6lbs. Please don't lecture me on being irresponsible.. I had never planned on breeding her due to her size until this particular vet said she thought they should have a baby because Chloe is so beautiful and Carlo is so cool.
At any rate the damage is done.. My main concern is for the health of Chloe. I would love to have one of their babies but I am now concerned if she will nurse if a C section is performed.
I have edited this considerably after spending so much time on the first post... please don't judge me.. I need sound advice. |
A story about my little Tia.....I found my little girl through a newspaper article, stating she was 1 year old and weighed 2 lbs. I already had 5 babies at the time, but there was something about the ad that called to me. I inquired, and the "breeder" informed me that she had left Tia in the pen with her males and didn't know she was in heat so she was probably pregnant. I knew then that I had to have her to save her. After much haggling, we agreed on a price and I rescued that baby. This was on Good Friday 2 yrs ago. I had an appt. with my vet for the following Tuesday. He aborted and spayed her and she is doing terrific now. He told me she would probably have died if we hadn't done the surgery. So PLEASE, take my advise and take care of this baby. You could very possibly loose her and the babies.
Good luck!
