Hey everyone!
First I'd like to introduce myself..
My name is Bryce, and I live in Portland, OR.
This is my first time going through a dog pregnancy!
I really hope you guys can help me through it til the end!
I will use this thread for all my questions, updates, etc..
OK SO HERES WHATS GOING ON:
My little girl yorkie has gotten pregnant by my bigger yorkie.
FEMALE:
Name: Ginger
Weight: 4.2 lbs
Age: 1.5 years (pregnant after 3rd heat)
Breed: Purebred yorkie
MALE:
Name: Jerry
Weight: 9.2 lbs
Age: 7.5 years
Breed: Mostly yorkie (3/4 yorkie, 1/4 chihuahua)
SO TO SUMMARIZE:
4.2 lb FEMALE is pregnant by a 9.2 lb MALE
INITIAL QUESTIONS:
- What are the odds that there will be complications?
Is it possible for her to give a natural birth without a C-section?
Is the size difference a big deal, or just a minor thing?
- We don't know the exact date of conception.. only within a week.
What is the best way to judge when she will be giving birth?
- As far as nutrition, would you guys recommend anything special? Vits?
- What kind of special preparations should I make?
I've done some research, but still would like more advice/info..
- Should I be concerned about my male dog?
Like should I keep him separated, or anything special?
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP!
THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME, SO IM EXTREMELY SCARED!
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT EVERYONE HAS TO SAY!
THANKS AGAIN
