I am a little concerned this is not the case, as you have two intact dogs under the same roof and apparently did not plan on a breeding. You need to be sure the vet you are using is well versed in care and treatment of whelping Yorkies and small dogs in general.....do YOU know anything about whelping puppies, or how to raise orphaned babies if that becomes necessary due to mommas death or her disinterest? Do you have the finances to pay for an emergency c-section....if not, this will be another issue for you to figure out, BEFORE it happens. You need to minimize as many of the issues you are facing....you need to know how many puppies you have, if they are small enough to pass thru her pelvic ring....you need an xray to determine this. Good luck to you with this risky situation.... |
As usual, thanks for much for being willing to help someone who is in a very concerning situation. I know it pains you to think of this little girl whelping at her age.
To megssports - first, welcome to YT
. I wish it was under better circumstances. I'm very, very worried for this precious little dog bc it sounds to me as if you don't have a way to pay for vet care if it's needed. What is your plan if a C-section is needed, what will you do? She absolutely needs an xray so you know what you're dealing with. PLEASE ask your vet AHEAD of time if there is any way he/she would accept a payment plan for you for this pregnancy - it's very worth asking since this birth could be life or death for your girl. Wishing you the very best of luck.
