Thank you all for the feedback! It is MUCH appreciated. I am feeling a little upset because I went through my options with my vet and she made it seem like she would be fine through the pregnancy and that we wouldn't need to spay her. She said there would be risks in spaying her and also c-section. She said we would be OK if we watched her carefully and fed her well too. I am wondering if I should go to another vet to get a second opinion. Because believe me, the LAST thing I want is to lose her. I have literally been praying everyday for her to be healthy and for things to run smoothly for her. I will need to give this deep thought these next couple days and make a decision.
As for her health situation right now. She has been doing very well. Extra lovey dovey and eating really well. She is still pretty active, obviously not AS active as normal though.
I did get her tested for any diseases (liver shunts, etc) and she was OK in all of those areas. The only health problem she has was multiple accounts of hypoglycemia. However, she was younger and she never went into seizure.
What do you think about bringing Bella to the vet as she goes into labor? That way if anything does happen she will be right at the vet? The only worry I have here is Bella does like being in her cozy home and it would be a lot less stressful for her. Ahh I am just so worried and disappointed that my vet didn't seem to think it could turn out bad. She kept saying that things will be fine as long as I feed her puppy food ASAP and keep her in a less stressful environment.. |
