OP if you are real, and I don't presently have a reason to believe you are not...this thread has gone way off topic from the get go.

You and your pup need real help please start another thread, we at YT though differ in opinions are here for you.

Gina is right in one way YOU MUST GET TO A VET and go from there.
Regardless of anything, we all care about your poor pup.

Sorry, Gina, but it would be extremely difficult for me to believe that you are not this person: Yorkiemomma78

I guess the admin and mods can figure it all out. Seems to me that while you are hell bent on pointing fingers at all of us, there are three pointing back at you. You seem to want to get in people's faces and then cry foul when they respond. One lesson to learn about online forums is that everyone has an opinion and most of the time it is better to simply state yours rather than try to first state that there will be some the OP may not like. I never voiced a reply to you regarding an opinion....I voiced my concerns about the way you opened your post. There will always be opinions by different people and it is for the OP to wade through... no one has the best way of putting things in spite of the fact that they think so.

To the OP....sometimes it is necessary to wade through the muck. Take what you can and leave the rest behind.
I do hope you will take to heart the sincere posts that have been made regarding the health and well being of your pup.

Oh my goodness, I think your old user name is found, Gina!

Could it be.... chelsie1978 ?? Looks very similar.

Wow Linda, do you moonlight as a private eye?:cool:

Blame it on my acquaintances. ;)

Maybe I should hire you to find Momo's FB page!:rofl28ib:

It's not me...it's my dark friends. :D

To the original poster, I will be praying for your little girl and that you can get her spayed right away. It scares me so much thinking of her going through delivery. One pup being way to large can cause her to bleed out quickly. You sound like a very concerned owner and I know you will do all you can to save her from all this. God bless.

I wish the OP would come back and let us know what they have decided to do. I will be praying for that little momma.

She cant come back she has been banned.

No, the OP was not banned. That was the other person.

I know absolutely nothing about whelping, so I am not much help. Just stopping in to say that you and your 'lady' are in my thoughts and wished the best:)

Oh sorry you are right. This thread got very confusing.

Please keep us updated. Usually it is very hard to tell if they are pregnant before 4 to 5 weeks along. A vet can usually palpate the female when they are around 4 weeks along and they can usually tell if they feel the marble sized pups. What concerns me is that if her belly is already getting big she may be carrying a lot of pups and that could be very dangerous. Tiny females are more likely to get a ruptured uterus if they are carrying to many pups. Also you have to worry about pre-eclampsia occurring before the pups are born and eclampsia after the pups are born. Hopefully you will be able to get her spayed soon.

HEY THIS IS THE OP WITH AN UPDATE!
So first I'd like to say wow thank you for the abundance of replies and attention! Due to the large number of replies since my last post, I decided to post my update first and then read them all, so ill get to any questions I might miss in this post shortly.

ANYWAY!
So I went to a doggy gynecologist specialist and got some questions answered as well as some scans done. She said my pup is roughly 5 weeks along, and that an emergency spay would be more dangerous than a csection (if needed) at this point. So we are going to continue with the pregnancy and pray for the best. The scan showed 3 puppies (thank god it wasn't 1-2) and I guess she also said there was a spot where a 4th one was that got absorbed or something like that, which she noted was fairly common with dogs. Due date is between Nov11-Nov13 give or take 2 days, so Nov9-Nov15. We have another appointment on the 6th or 7th to check up things, make a decision, etc.. In the meantime I am making a whelping box for her to get used to just in case. I will keeep you all updated.

Here we go replying to what I missed..

MIMIMOMO - I am NOT contributing to overpopulation of dogs without homes and everything else you made me feel guilty for - we intend to keep every single pup that isn't accounted for by friends etc. So please don't guilt trip me and make me feel like I'm doing something I'm not.

Um I'm not sure why my other post didn't show up prior to that one, with all the updates, but ill give it a little while and it should show up soon once approved or whatnot.

Actually, I agree with Minimomo on this one. Even though you might be keeping the dogs or giving them away to friends, those were spots in homes that could have potentially gone to some of the 10,000 homeless pets that are euthanized each day.

Whether or not you feel guilt or not is irrelevant. Facts are facts and too many animals die because the people who own them aren't responsible with their breeding practices. Hopefully, the friends you give the dogs to will be responsible enough to spay and neuter rather than continuing the cycle.

You could be setting your female up for a death sentence if you don't spay her ASAP.

Jumping ahead to puppies is crazy this dog should be spayed ASAP and if she is not it may kill her to carry and or have these puppies.

IDK how you took my post as making you feel guilty or giving you a guilt trip. I was stating facts...I'm not responsible for what you feel...that's ALL you.

How is your pup doing?

I am stunned and amazed this pup has not been spayed already. If I had ONE person that had more knowledge and experience in any given topic or subject, than I had, and they told me my little girl could EASILY DIE if she continued on a particular path, I would have had my baby's treatment plan adjusted to assure she would not die from some ridiculous "squew-up" on MY part. I was checking back in to see how she was doing following her spay.....apparently I overestimated .......things....how sad, how sad........

OP HERE..
Rhetts & Mimi - I understand where you are coming from, but that's an invalid point if the friends I'm giving puppies to wouldnt have otherwise gotten another dog. The only reason they want one is because of the parents they are coming from. Thus, your point (although a sad fact in some cases) is not true in my case. I am not causing any other dogs to remain homeless or get put down. I think that's a pretty big stretch for you to even suggest me carrying that guilt. But again, I understand that in SOME cases it may be true.

To the rest of you - Yes this was unplanned, and yes she should have been spayed. But let myour te one last time that she is 5-6 weeks along already! We didnt even realize that she may be pregnant until fairly recently (in the last 1-2 weeks). I did exactly what you all suggested and saw a vet (in fact a doggy gyno/pregnancy specialist office) and I asked many questions and we explored all options, and she was very confident in saying that spaying her (at this point) would be more dangerous than continuing the pregnancy. Otherwise I wouldve elected for an emergency spay. Now listen, I appreciate all of your input, and respect your opinions as I know many of you are long-time breeders with lots of experience. I also fully understand there are risks. But AT THIS POINT is it not true that spaying her would be equally as dangerous? I can't help but believe what the specialist told me, however if any of you disagree with her and think she is wrong, please tell me! But also please make sure you understand why she said what she said - my pup is pretty far along, so I can understand where she's coming from. Again, the pregnancy was obviously not planned, yes I should've taken better precaution, yes I wish I had noticed sooner, and yes its an unfortunate circumstance, but at this point and time (5-6 weeks in) is it not true that a spay would be just as dangerous if not more dangerous than continuing the pregnancy with care?

All input and opinions are welcome and appreciated.
But PLEASE, READ my ENTIRE post first. Thanks :)

Under the circumstances, the pregnancy is FAR riskier than a spay. If you continue with the pregnancy, you better have $$$$ saved up for an emergency c-section and be prepared to lose her. Have your schedule completely cleared because if she dies you will need to provide 24/7 care to the pups, feeding every 2 hours around the clock. You will need a friend lined up to help you do this so that you can get a nap once in a while.

I would be getting a second opinion regarding spay vs. pregnancy with this large father and possibly larger still dogs in his background that could produce a huge puppy. Very risky for a 4 lb. female to have ANY pups, even those of a smaller line than her own, and this poor girl is carrying pups from a dog more than twice her size and who knows what size his grandfather/mother were!

I have no advice. I am a little surprised at the vets response but I will be praying hard for your little girl. I cannot even imagine how hard this will be on her.

I can't help but be afraid of the things you are all saying.
And although there are risks, I can't help but trust the opinions of 2 different vets/specialists.
They agree its not optimal, and she should've been spayed, but at this point the best option is to continue with the pregnancy with caution. That spaying this far along is just as risky.

What are the two vets names that u talked to?
