| Help My Roxy was 1 y/o on Feb 6, 2009. she just had her 2nd heat and my 14 1/2lbs malitpoo got her. She is 7lbs. I did not want this to happen, but it did on July 12th. I was told by a vet that there is a shot that could abort the pups, but I am afraid that she will die, or should I get her fixed. Which is safer? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Hi and welcome to YT! i posted this on your other thread too. I'm sorry this happened. I think you'd be safer to get both your dogs fixed so you can avoid this problem in the future. Since your male is double your females size there is a chance the puppies will be way to big for her to safely have naturally. If you let the puppies go to term your female will probably have to have a c-section. You can either have her spayed now and abort the puppies. Or you can let her go to term, go thru with the c-section, and have her spayed at the same time. If you do this you will have to care for the puppies and mother. Plus it will probably cost you a pretty penny. Then you have to find suitable homes for all the babies.

| The shot is very dangerous. My friend just went thru this over the weekend and nearly lost her mama. I have heard some people say you can spay her now. I'm not sure tho. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i too haven't heard anything really great about the shot. However, while working as a vet tech we did spay/abort many mommies and puppies. The spay is tougher on the female and they take a little longer to recovery since their bodies have been through a lot more. After 2 weeks though they are typically back to their normal self. I do not know if there is any mental stress that they go thru from losing the puppies. i do not know if they realize they were pregnant and that they now have lost the puppies. maybe other breeders will have insight into this part.
