Most vets have no problem terminating a pregnancy and spaying an animal...ESPECIALLY when the females life is in danger...and the 3 lb dogs life IS DEFINITELTY is grave danger. Terminating pregnancies during a spay is a fairly common occurrence...sometimes, the owners will bring their pets in for a spay, not even knowing their animals are pregnant.
Since the owner has decided to have puppies, shouldn't she schedule a planned C-Section for the 3lb dog?? I am HIGHLY doubtful that a 3 lb dog is going to be able to pass a puppy through the birth canal. They are going to be lucky if the dog lives through the pregnancy itself, let alone the birthing of puppies!! So very sad 
I can MAYBE understand one oops...but the first female should have been spayed after the first oops and the daughter should have been spayed too...ESPECIALLY since she is 3 lbs and her being pregnant IS A LIFE AND DEATH situation. I know there's been posts recently on here on the pro's/con's of spaying and neutering pets...but THIS is a perfect example why most rescue's/breeders require early spay/neuter. I am fairly new to here...so I am curious ....where does everyone keep getting these in-tact dogs with no spay/neuter contracts??? It seems like at least once a week, someones "pet' dog is getting "knocked up" and they come here looking for advice. Are people just not holding up their end of the spay/neuter contract?? Or do they not have one...and if not, who doesn't hand out spay/neuter contracts??
I am pretty sure even the last pet store I went to had spayed/ neutered dogs and/or a spay/neuter contract as a minimum. |
I know 3 people that just bought dogs from pet stores....no spay/neuter contract. Two of those people will probably do the right thing, but that third person is going to be one of those that ends up with an "oops" breeding, probably every 6 months or so.
Where do they get all these intact dogs from? BYB's and pet stores. BYB's could care less what happens to that dog, as long as they get THEIR money for the dog.
