Thank you so very much for your quick responses! In regards to the dog that impregnated her it was a beagle that had previously impregnated her last year without any complications during her delivery. We are in the process of trying to find another vet to see her before the scheduled appointment.
In the mean time, if she is as close as I believe she is I would so greatly appreciate the rundown of what I should be prepared for in home. I work for a vascular surgeon so getting any materials (clamp, betadine, sterile gloves etc) is not an issue. I have read in some cases it was necessary to have these items on standby and in other cases where the mother took care of things on her own.
Lastly, as for any future breeding this was something we were discussing and were planning to research prior to getting into it. We were not wanting to do so for monetary gain and had discussed if doing so it would be a onetime thing.
Again thank you all! I did not go to sleep until five this morning because she seemed so restless and my nerves were shot! She finally nestled into my underarm and passed out with me. |
