It's very difficult for members here, often, to hear of unplanned and unprepared-for pregnancies - we all understand this and many of us feel the frustration, on so many levels. But when a *dog* needs our help, we should try to help if we can - no matter how we feel about the situation...after all this is why YT is here.

It's fine to express your feelings, respectfully and kindly, about a situation you don't like -- we're not asking that you don't. But please do it with the goal of education and support at top of mind. If we instead alienate the person, then we fail that helpless innocent dog at the other end. That's not anyone's goal here.

To the OP - have you tried contacting your vet at all to see if they can help you with this specific question? If not, I do hope you get the information you need prior to this whelping so that this precious dog is safe and lives through it. Whelping can very easily become life and death for both the Momma and the puppies, so I'm quite scared for you due to your inexperience.

Please, do get her spayed asap after the whelping so that another "oops" pregnancy doesn't happen.

What she needs to learn can't be learned on the internet and certainly not in a few days. She didn't realize the risks and she needed to know that and know this is a very serious thing. The only help that can be given unless one of our breeders lives near her is to take her to the vet and ask for help. In my opinion it is very risky for the op to do this on here own with just research from the internet.
