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. |
You're on an island with improper anesthetic and equipment for a simple spay....an emergency c-section is more complicated with great risks. What's the plan for emergencies?
Also, animal ethics may be different there, but that's no excuse when you know what is right. I couldn't be comfortable with a vet who promotes unplanned breeding and not responsible animal ownership.
