birth... help so my friend has a pitbull she's about 9-10 months old and she got knocked up. now today i saw the dog in the front yard and it had a puppy next to it dead.... i know sad i almost cried but then they said after an hour she gave birh again in the garage and the next one was dead too... does that mean she's too young to have babies? or what does it mean and what do we do.... they dont want the puppies to all be dead and it breaks my heart to hear that another one is dead. please help asap. and i know theres alot of people that hate on dogs getting pregnant so please no mean messages. im just trying to get help |
im not sure but i would assume her age does have something to do with it i would take her to the vet before you loose them all |
9 - 10 months old is way much too young to be bred . I would go to the vet very quick with her . |
oh man now im getting really worried...... im scared... thanks though Quote:

sad 9-10 months is a lot like a 16,17 yr old human having babies - not great, you wouldn't do it on purpose - but not usually the end of the world either if proper care is taken. It is too late for most of that care now but #1 a bitch should never be left alone to whelp. Often the pup will die because it needs help getting out which mom (especially a young, first time or poorly bred mom) can't give. Pups may come 5 - 60 minutes apart but not longer - especially if bitch is straining, yelping, worried, etc. She will need calcium and vitamin supplements even if all pups have died. She will need rest and I would get her to a vet to make sure no dead pups are left and no infection is setting in. Obviously, she also needs to be spayed - usually done at 6 months or so. Good luck, let me know if you have more questions. |
