The other is only on the island for a week a month and told me that they do not have the equipment or proper anesthetic to spay a dog her size. He point blank told me that it is not safe during the appointment I made for her last year around this time.
I am not employed, so work is not a concern for me, and I will have to order everything online, such as hemostats, milk, incase I have to feed the babies incase of an emergency, and all the necessities because we do not have a proper grocery store, such as "Walmart", here. My aunt used to be on call for pet emergencies and has delivered quite a few litters in her time, I have contacted her.
I wanted advice on what I should be feeding and doing to care for my baby girl at this time to make sure she's as healthy as can be.
Thank you for the advice so far. |
It seems like your situation is almost untenable. I will re-iterate the safest thing for you and your gal, is to get her to a larger island with proper facilities to do a spay on her. You have the time to plan this, to research. Surely Nassau isn't too far away?
The risks to your bitch to whelp without any emergency back up vet care, surely is a high one to take.
The "cavalry" is here to try and give you the best advice we can. I won't speak for others, just for myself; what I believe given your circumstances, is to do all in your power to save the life of your gal. That means to spay her, right now, to find the way to do this.
Please consider seriously what risk you are taking with your gal's life.
