When I first got Griffin and realized that breeding him and Gracie wasn't a good idea because of her size (again, remember that my scales at home were off) I decided to fix them both so that it would not be an issue. My vet recommended waiting until Griffin was old enough and then doing them both at the same time so that I wouldn't have one recuperating while the other was wanting to play.
So I was planning on getting them both fixed in April sometime (Griffin will be 6 months old on April 1st). Hopefully, Gracie is just getting ready to go into, or is already in her first heat and that's why she's swollen. If that's the case, then yes...they will both get scheduled ASAP to fix this!
If it's not the case, and she is pregnant, what are my options? From what I've read today, she's potentially about 5 weeks along based on her "shape" and the thickening/widening of her body between her ribs and hips. If there is just one puppy, could she potentially carry it?
