my 10 year old yorkie could be pregnant i have a 9 month male yorkie,and took for castrastion on thursday...all went well....untill my female 10 year old is in season and was at the end of her cycle,when the male went for op,was able to keep apart...but when male dog arrived home,decided to rip off the females nappie,and mate her....it was horrrific..couldnt beleive my 9 month dog would be interested,straight after a op...luckliy the male didnt do any damage to his stitches..etc..but they mated,and locked...now im so upset,as i would love puppies...but the vet has said we can take her for a injection to get rid...!!!!! am i doing the right thing for my female.xxxx |
I'm confused....did he mate with her Before or AFTER his surgery? I guess it doesn't matter..he would probably still be able to impregnate..hmmm 10 years old is WAY to old for her to be able to handle having pups!! Check out this link!! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...d-too-old.html |
I would think it could be very dangerous for your female to have puppies at this late age. I am not an expert in dogs but I used to raise Bengal cats and wouldn't ever have one give birth when she was that old. Listen to your vet and get the shot - puppies are cute but definitely not at the expense of your 10 year old. Good luck!:) |
thanks...i do agree my 10 year old is too old.. |

Is this the same female you thought was pregnant in 2008? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...ml#post2125190 |
he mated after the surgery? if so, i dont think she's pregnant... but, i'd still take her to the vet and discuss this with the vet to double check |
Sperm lives in the vas deferens for a couple of weeks after a castration. It is possible impregnate the female during that time. |

If all problems were so easy to solve..have her spayed asap..and she will never risk a pregancy or fatal unrine infection, pyrometra. |
thanks for all your comments....i have taken notice. my 10 year old female has had her jabs over the last two days....to terminate,if she is...we now have to wait 4 weeks to get her rechecked at the vets...then go from there...hopefully she will be ok.then i can consider her future. KEEP YOU POSTED. XXXXXX:aimeeyork: |
Soooo I take it you are not going to spay her? |
I think she has to wait the 4 weeks to recheck for spay...I hope so at least...wonder why she wasn't spayed prior TBH. Seems OP made the right choice IMO. Hope OP keeps posting |

You are kidding right? I take in pups all of the time and have them spayed..I don't wait four weeks to find out if they are pregnant. |
yes i will look into that.....im thinking of her age...tooo |
She is way too old to be pregnant take her in now and have her spayed if you care about her. Isnt this the 2nd time you have thought she was pregnant. Then people told you to have her spayed right away and you didnt listen so I doubt you do this time. I think having pups to you means more than your yorkies life or it would already be done. I have nothing positive to say to you it is your fault this has happened again |

for your information it was a false alarm before, and i havnt posted since. |
Nope. I wasn't kidding, you misread, again...guessing I did now too on this one. I thought I read she had taken the dog in for an abortion...and meant she had to wait 4 weeks for the after care check and the spay appointment... I'm guessing by the post below now that's not what she meant...:rolleyes: Quote:

Sounds like you might be playing russian roulette w/your poor little senior lady...As long as you do the pre-op bloodwork, there shouldn't be a reason, on the planet, not to get her spayed now...Why put her through all those hormonal changes in her body (if she's pregnant), and get her spayed in 4 weeks?...And, if she isn't pregnant, you won't be putting her at risk, in the future, w/a possiblity of an unwanted pregnancy, since it's happened twice now...just sayin' |

Not to mention other things like mammary tumors or pyometra. :( |
Is the original poster in the US? I don't recognize the location. I'm thinking in some places they do use an injectable drug to abort? Just not really considered safe, so we don't use it here? And who knows how long you have to wait to spay after one of those...? She should have been spayed, but maybe it doesn't work that way where the OP is? I'll take another geography class if the OP's city listed is in the US. lol. |
Just Googled her location and it is in the UK |

The OP is from the UK. People have different reasons as to why they decide to spay or not spay their pets. I havnt had Poppy spayed yet which I have already discussed here, I do not want to breed her but I am worried about putting her under an anesthetic. It sounds as if the OP is taking the vets advice by not continuing with the pregnancy. But maybe there is a reason why the OP dosnt want to put her 10 year old under an anesthetic, it is a hard decision to make.. but seen as your dog is now pregnant then it is one you are going to have to make quickly. I wish you luck with your girl and hope you have everything sorted soon. |
Rachael, is it a common thing to do a chemical termination in the UK? If so, what do they use? |
