BeeBiz keep us updated. I sure hope that the Universe will bless you with a no go on the pregnancy. But I do believe things happen in mysterious ways. there is an old Chinese story that goes; Good Luck, Bad Luck who knows. It is quite long and humorous but essentially points out that sometimes breaking an arm that keeps you out of the army might be construed as good luck.

True story now; a breeder friend of mine who breeds Black Russians, had a lovely girl, this was only her third litter, but she was 4.5 yrs old, and really not intersted in the whole mating thing anymore, so my friend thought what the heck, I'm going to spay her after this litter. She did, and the vet told her, that was a great decision you made, because the walls of her uterus had become very thin. One more breeding; and a whole lot of bad things could have happened. So that was the good luck part of the story. Fast forward one year later; this girl tore a nail whilst playing. Go to vet as bleeding wouldn't stop with various home remedies. Vet examines, prescribes various med's to help co-agulate. Seems to work for about 48 hrs, bleeding begins again. More trips to vets, my friend is saying something is wrong, very wrong, her belly is swollen, vet doesn't listen. to make a long story short and many dollars later, her girl dies. My friend is so upset, vet wants to do a necropsy, my friend says no. An emotional decision, and probably not the best one i n her case. Van Willenbrands perhaps? Who knows.
I know hindsight is wonderful, what if she had tried to research find out why that uterine wall was so thin on a young female on the third litter? would she have found out some underlying disease pathology that might have averted the later death of her female? Sobering thought. the other thing about hindsight, it can help to prepare us for future decisions, a little mental twig that might say, ya know, I think I want to run this test or that test, just to see.

A breeders life and responsibility is not an easy one. I wish you from the bottom of my heart only the best for you and your girl
