The library has some excellent articles about considerations prior to breeding
I have posted a link above.
This was an eye opening article! Absolutely anything can happen before during and after breeding. I think this is excellent to share with her. I'm curious to see her reaction after reading all of these different scenarios. Thanks! |
I really do hope your friend listens to you....you can really end up broken hearted with credit cards maxed out, trying to deliver a female that has a baby sideways and cant do it on her own. If she does not recognize when she needs to go for help, she can loose her momma as well as the entire litter. Even if she survives the c-section, she can throw a clot post op and die. When you breed your female, you need to ask yourself, is this female soooo good that I want to risk HER life to try to get babies from her that may or may not be any where as good as she is? And you have to have the money to back it up, in case she does get into trouble.....or the babies need intensive care....you are looking at anywhere from $3000.00 up to probably close to $8000.00, depending how sick everyone, and how aggressive you are trying to save them.
