I also apreciate forums, I have been a member of YT for 9 years (couldent remember my last username and had to make a new one after lurking for a VERY long time - like 5 years), BUT, in cases like this, I DO think it´s alot better to get to a vet ASAP.The reasons? We do not know how far along the dog is..she could be half way through her pregnancy by now and she needs to be examined.In these cases where the breeding is accidental and the male is more than half the bitches size, I personally would want to hear what my vet thinks and
then I´d double check with a forum
I´m not saying the info on here in useless (I have used alot of it for YEARS!) but when the dog in question could be in danger, I think a run to the vet first is VERY important.
I also don´t want to scare this person away, again, this is why I am repeating that he/she might be more comfortable with her vet.
Heck, I came here when I was in doubt about Bellas PLANNED pregnancy because my vet was on vacaction and I had to wait a little to see him, but once he came back, it was
him I turned to and
him I trusted because
he is the one
here with me and he is the one who knows my dog, has her records, ran the tests beforehand etc etc.
I am not and never have pooped on anything any of you have said or suggested.I just see
certain things a little differently
