I advise you to get an ultra sound at 4 weeks following the breeding....hopefully, again, your vet is proficient at reading US, and can verify if your girl is pregnant. If she is NOT, I suggest you have her spayed. If she is, I would also suggest an emergency spay, but if you have an aversion to that, you will need to support this pregnancy with proper nutrition for your lady. I advise Royal Canin HT 42d, free fed until her 42nd day of pregnancy. I advise you to get on line and find the subbsequent formulas you need to feed her, thru whelping, and until the babies are weaned. I advise you to take this lady for an xray on day 58 of her pregnancy...that will clearly tell you how many babies she is carrying and you will be able to use calipers to measure heads and pelvic ring ratios. If it looks like Shy will not be able to pass these babies, make arrangerments for a c-section, BEFORE you get into trouble and it becomes an emergency. Then, I strongly suggest you either make arrangements with a knowledgable vet tech or a person you can contact that has extensive experience whelping Yorkies, to come when you call as Shy goes into labor. I would advise you to leave Shy with your vet in attendance, 24/7, so the vet will be present during the whelp. As a member of this forum for the length of time that you have been, I advise you to start thoroughly combing thru all the stickies in the breeder section and absorb everything you have not absorbed in the time you have already been a member, in the next two months....there are TONS of posts about supplies you will need, what you need to know to raise puppies, formulas, instructions on tube feedings, etc, etc, etc. NOW, go forth and invest YOUR time and effort and get a grasp on what is facing you and how to handle it.....and STOP responding that no one has done anything to help you! You have had many, many, many people take the time to try to direct you....you can NOT get this knowledge from us thru osmosis....get busy, your little lady is running out of time.................. |
