Congratulations on safely having the puppies. I commend you for consulting a professional and going through with the c-section. I am sure this whole thing has been a financially costly lesson for you. I am just glad it didn't cost you your little girl.
Now that you know that it's not safe to breed a 4lb female to ANY dog, I hope you do right by your little girl and get her spayed as soon as you safely can. She made it through this ordeal once, but she may not make it through again.
I thank your vet for coming here to explain her reasoning behind not doing a pregnancy spay and opting for a c-section instead.
I hope other people who think about breeding read this thread first. Too many people think they can breed anything and make a buck off it. I am not saying you are doing that...but there are others that do have that fantasy...and they don't realize how risky it is or how costly it can be. Thank goodness you had the financial backing to be able to safely birth these little babies....and thank goodness you had a vet who could safely deliver them!!
I look forward to seeing pictures!! |
