| Please, please don't yell at me God I'm almost scared to post this, but I'm so worried about Poopanut. *deep breath* Ok, S'anah was scheduled to be fixed in January. Well, she went to heat about a week or so before her appointment so we weren't able to. I have a male chihuahua named Harley, who, do to a medical condition can not be fixed (too dangerous and scary to put him under). So, while Susanah was in heat I kept Harley in my bedroom and Susanah stayed with me in the rest of the house. Then at night I switched them so S'anah could sleep with me and Harley slept with my son. I kept doing this from the time S'anah first started getting swollen until just a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to make absolute 100% sure she was not in heat before I let them around each other again. Well, around the 3rd week of January (maybe even the 4th - its hard to remember because this is also around the time I started getting really sick) Mike, myself, and the kids were all gone for a couple of hours and when we came back my bedroom door was open and I was greeted by both Harley and Susanah in the living room. Naturally I panicked and scooped Susanah up and gave her little hoo hoo one thorough examination. (you have never seen anyone look at a hoo hoo so closely) It did not appear at all that Harley had gotten her. What has me worried is that since her heat, her little hoo hoo is still swollen (it has gone down some, but is still pretty large) and her nipples are large too. I KNOW these are signs of pregnancy. Its hard to tell if her tummy is any bigger, as she is slightly chubby anyway. Are there any other ways to tell? I don't think she would be far enough long to tell on an x ray would she? And there is just no way I can squeeze $400 for an ultrasound and the vets around here don't believe in payment plans. God, this can not be happening to me and the Poopanut. I swear I kept them apart except for those few hours and I can not for the life of me figure out how the door got opened and she got out. I promise she is getting spayed ASAP. Its just that I have been really sick so the plan was to get me well then get her spayed before next her heat. I am so sorry ya'll. I feel like such an ass. I honesty did my best to keep them apart.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I'm sorry Aerrica. I don't know squat about what you should do...or what anyone will say to you. But I know that its not your fault. I've been known to be upset sometimes when this happens...but that's when people don't give a crap and think "Well, it'll get me a quick buck!" and I know that's not how you are at all. I just wanted to say good luck! Do you think, if Susanah is preggo, that she is a healthy weight and size to deliver?

| If it were me, I would have her spayed immediately. If she's not pregnant, then she'll already get that taken care of....if she is pregnant, that will stop an unwanted litter and keep her safe and healthy. I think she's pretty tiny and young correct? I know how much you love her and don't want anything to happen nto her...giving birth is a HUGE risk. I promise I'm not yelling...just letting you know if she were my dog and I was at all concerned, she'd be spayed immediately.

| S'anah is about 6.5 - 7 lbs - maybe a little more, she is a chunky monkey. Harley is about 5.5 - 6 lbs. As far as having them aborted, I don't think I could do that UNLESS S'anah was in danger. I went searching on here and found something about false pregnancies. Do ya'll think maybe that could be it? We were only gone for around 2 hours, 3 at the most. I have no idea how long she was out of the bedroom. Her hoo hoo didn't appear at all like he had gotten her. I am not exaggerating when I tell ya'll I looked it with a magnifying glass. Thanks for not yelling at me. I know it isn't the end of the world - as long as S'anah is Ok. I love her so much it WOULD be the end of the world if anything happened to her though. I just don't think I could go on without my Poopanut. She is my world.

| You wrote: I have a male chihuahua named Harley, who, do to a medical condition can not be fixed (too dangerous and scary to put him under). From what you wrote about your male chihuahua. I think your first and biggest concern is your male cannot be neutered due to health issues etc as you stated. Then what do you expect the pups will be like healthwise? This would be a reason to abort the litter if she is pregnant. You wouldn't want to bring a litter of unhealthy pups into the world. Not yelling just giving you something to think about Deana Prestigeous Yorkies |

Many dogs have puppies and are fine, but I promise you that there are real risks. Dogs DO die giving birth. I've heard many stories of dogs developing infections afterwards or getting enclampsia. There was a story on here recently where the mom developed enclampsia so quickly that she died on the way to the vet. There are many many things that CAN go wrong. So while she might do perfectly fine, there's always that chance that something can go terribly wrong. My advice is to have her spayed ASAP.

| No I absolutely wouldn't want to bring puppies into the world that could be sick. I just can't believe this is happening to me and my Poopanut.

| I'm going to call in the morning. I hope he'll work something out too. Why do these things always happen right when money is the tightest? What upsets me even more is that I HAD money set aside for emergencies for the furbutts, but I had to dip into it to pay for some of MY medical stuff.
