Help! My 8 month old puppy is pregnant

caffeinegirl Apr 08, 2005 07:04 AM

I'm ashamed of myself that this has even happened. I posted a few weeks earlier that she was in heat and a few people gave me some great advice to sent our boy JRT away during the cycle. Well, that was the plan but family was unable to take him at the last minute. I bought several washable diapers with replacable pads and kept them on her at all times. I am home constantly so I kept a watchfull eye on Molly and Dexter. We have been making them sleep in their crates so that nothing happens when we are sleeping. However, I got up this morning, let them out, went into the kitchen to put on some coffee and when I walked back into the living room he had managed to go through the tail hole of her pants and they were stuck! It lasted about 10 min and I am positive she is pregnant. I feel so guilty that I have let this happen!!! Can anyone give me advice? I feel like a horrible parent!!!

Call your veterinarian immediately to find out what your options are. Do not wait until after the weekend.
