pregnant or not???? I really need help my best friend called me and she just got a yorkie she is 2yrs old and much to her surprise she's in heat she has never had a female dog so she didn't know what a heat cycle was like. she called me crying hysterically that she was walking her dog on a leash to keep her away from any males she was in her yard and she made sure her gate was locked so she left her on the porch and ran in for a minute, and when she came out the neighbor chihuawa sorry don't know how to spell it. was stuck with her. what happened was that her daughter left and left the gate open and here came the neighbors dog. she was crying really bad I felt so bad for her she has an appt. to spay her dog next week and now she's worried cause now she wants to know if her dog is pregnant? I really didn't know what to tell her so I decided to turn to my fellow yorkie forum well guys do you have any advice?????????????? |
I'd advise her to have the spay if the doctor will do it unless she wants to chance having large puppies she may not be able to deliver, perhaps a throwback pup or two way oversize. Not to mention the risk of a pregnancy and whelping, then she may not be a natural mom - scooting her pups to the side and biting at them when they try to nurse. Raising puppies is no game, let me tell you, especially worse if the mom is dead and you are the stand-in. So I would tell her to take her in to the vet to have her checked for pregnancy and as she knows nothing of the father's lineage if she is pregnant, to do a spay. That would be my choice for my little female I'd not neutered and accidentally left to a male as I didn't know about heat. And then she'll have no more heats, licking, bleeding, restlessness, pregnancies or increased risk of cancer or things like that. |
