At least she is five pounds so she will have that going for her IF she has puppies. Hopefully nothing happened! Then you have to think if you should put her through the shot if nothing happened in the first place!

They also said that if something small like a yorkie was bred with a basset hound then they would suggest spaying.

I have heard that if an animal goes into heat, it is perfectly natural to have a normal pregnancy, even in the first heat. Think about nature...animals would be extinct if there were too many complications!! That is, if you are worried of her being pregnant because of complications.

Think about 13-14 year old girls getting pregnant now a days. It happens! But only when nature is ready to let it happen.

luvmymonkies · 11-08-2005, 10:45 PM

Oh my gosh, Kimberly!!! The shot sounds terrible! Have you or anyone you know ever done it before? It seems equally risky, if not, more risky. I'm still going to ask about it out of curiosity. I find it strange that none of the vets I asked here heard about it. Maybe calling it "morning after shot" got them confused, but you would think they would use common sense and figure out what I was talking about...LOL!

Thanks for finding out what it's actually called. That will be really helpful when I bring it up next time. I love YT!!

yorkiegal719 · 11-09-2005, 05:29 AM

Yes, by now I would think that it's way too late for the shot. The risks are high too, just do the little bit of waiting and hopefully she isn't pregnant. But if she is just maybe see how many if there are too many for here maybe you can arrange a c section and then hopefully everything will turn out ok. I've got my fingers crossed for you...

I sent you a PM

Just to let you know, I have two girls that were bred in early October, they have a little more than 3 weeks to go and they are just barely starting to show. If they were not my own dogs I would not be able to tell. So as far as being able to just look and tell- it could take a while. I know you are very worried about your baby, but like another member said- if anything can help to ease your nerves just remember nature. This is natural and your girl is luckily not a teenie tiny. Hopefully everything will work out for you. How large is your male? You said the female is 5 lbs...right?

I've not ever had to have it done but my father-in-law did with one of his Vislas. Pearl did fine but did come back into heat within a couple of months.

jenstals · 11-13-2005, 05:02 PM

My fingers are crossed for you that NOTHING happened! Dont blame yourself. Accidents happen. You were being careful!!! Keep us posted!

suz · 11-14-2005, 12:05 AM

When my Cujo had her first heat, (incidently, it happened on her first birthday!!!) she got "hung up" with my male. I didn't want her to have puppies right then. I too was worried, nervous, p.o.'d at my male (like it was something HE should have known not to do), and upset with myself for it happening. I called my vet who told me there was a morning after shot, but that there was no guarentee of it working. He told me that the side effects were not real plesant, but that if I got her to him within 24 hours of it happening, it could be done. So, off we went. She didn't have the side effects that he had told me about. One thing he did say, was that it may prolong her cycle. And boy did it ever. She continued to be in heat for almost 2 months!! Talk about a strange side effect!! She did not have any puppies. Her next cycle wasn't for almost a full year and she again had it for right at 2 months. I didn't think she was ready mentally to have puppies then either. So we waited for her next cycle. In that cycle, she wouldn't have anything to do with my male. Guess she must have remembered what happened the first time she let him get frisky!! (jk) When she turned 3, I had almost given up on her ever having puppies. One night ( didn't even realize that she was in heat) I heard a little yipe and looked around to see her and my male doing the body bump!! Sure nuff, she had 3 pups. All fine and dandy!! I hope it works for you if you chose to do it. Keep us posted on her.

That may be true, to a degree. Sometimes what happens in nature isn't always best. That is why now we know better and our dogs as well as humans have longer life expentancies. Even a 13 year old is "recommended" an abortion because it could put her life in jeopardy. Not that I agree with abortion completely, but that is a different issue.

My cousin's dog, a 7 lb rat terrier accidently was mated by a husky. They rushed her to the vet who had to fix everything torn up. He had to terminate one pupppy and spade her. Thankfully now she is living happily ever after. Unfortunately, Sometimes these things just happen. At least your dog wasn't hurt in all of this. I think she'll end up being fine though.

Good story Suz, glad everything went well, you're such a great breeder

) I will definately recommend you in our area, you do it for the right reasons.

I have not read all the posts in this thread......BUT DO NOT GET THE MIS-MATE SHOT. It is very dangerous.....she could die. Your choices are wait until the heat is over and get her spayed ASAP. OR let her have the puppies.

Maybe they don't have them in CA? According to all, I just have to wait and see. I can go in at around 26 days to see if she actually has any pups in there. They also say that it doesn't matter how young she is. If she's gone into heat she can have puppies, it's just the matter of the size of the pups that is the risk. I still think she's a baby though. I guess I just have to wait it out

---------------------------------------
If she is pregnant she will have morning sickness.....a little vomiting around the 17th to 18th day after breeding. This is when the tiny fetus attaches itself to the uterus....getting ready to grow.

There is a shot that can be given.....but it is very very dangerous to the bitch. She could die! Most vets will not even consider giving it....well at least well informed and educated ones.

Yorkies are a totally man made breed. They would not have puppies in the "natural" uh.....in nature....because they would never survive in the first place. They are man-made therefore need human intervention to survive. <g> D

SnowWa · 11-27-2005, 12:10 AM

All purebreds are "man-made" breeds.

Of course -- we didn't intervene to the point of making them as small as Yorkies.

Man has created different breeds of all different shapes and sizes with different temperments and abilities for different purposes.

There is no doubt that Yorkies need special care in many ways because of their small size.
