ANYWAY!
So I went to a doggy gynecologist specialist and got some questions answered as well as some scans done. She said my pup is roughly 5 weeks along, and that an emergency spay would be more dangerous than a csection (if needed) at this point. So we are going to continue with the pregnancy and pray for the best. The scan showed 3 puppies (thank god it wasn't 1-2) and I guess she also said there was a spot where a 4th one was that got absorbed or something like that, which she noted was fairly common with dogs. Due date is between Nov11-Nov13 give or take 2 days, so Nov9-Nov15. We have another appointment on the 6th or 7th to check up things, make a decision, etc.. In the meantime I am making a whelping box for her to get used to just in case. I will keeep you all updated. |
Is this specialist board certified with?
Animal Reproduction. American College of Theriogenologists This is the American specialty organization which certifies vets for this specialty.
At roughly just past mid point in the pregnancy, I don't truly understand how the e spay would present more dangers than bringing to term 3 pups from un-known heritage.
