My pregnant dog isn't eating!!!

[MajesticCollies]

Aarg!!! Victoria I don't even know where to begin. I would listen very carefully to WolfSoul. Sweetie I am not angry with you but after this event is over PLEASE read up on caring and raising dogs. This will probably be a very unwanted, eye opening, Bad experience for you. I wish you all the luck in the world. I'll be praying for your little Angel. I don't want to say what I'm thinking so I won't.

We didn't have enough money to buy a new one so she didn't wear one, we thought it was harmless, but we didn't think about DUKE!!! A couple of days later my mom found Angel and Duke "Doin' It". We didn't have enough money to spay her, so we had to just go on with her pregnancy.

Just so you know when I have a litter, counting tests and vaccinations and food and special dietary needs for momma and other factors it can cost me up to $1500 to have a litter vs. the expense of a spay. You really need to study caring for your dogs.
Just telling it like it is sweetie. Don't take offense. Life and health with dogs can't be ignored when it comes to thier wellbeing!!!
I'll be thinking and praying for you.

Guys what is important now is that the dog IS pregnant, you can't change the past. What is important is there is a dog and her puppies who's health is at risk. That should be the main concern here.

After the mom is ok, the puppies have been born, then we can stop worrying about the pregnancy and start teaching or preaching about spay and neutering. We all know that it is MUCH cheaper to spay/neuter than to have to pay for a litter of puppies (if you are responsible and take them for regular vet checkup and visits, that is) but we can't change the past. This post sickens me to no end, but nothing I say will change the fact that she has an expecting mother and that needs to be our main concern here.

Please, take your dog to the vet immediately.

I think everyone has told her what to do! take her to the vet and get her checked!! there is nothing wrong with trying to teach her something at the same time. we are just trying to help her understand all the risks she has to worry about now. Also for future reference, if she ever gets anther dog. We are all tying to help here. there is nothing wrong with that!

No one was "getting all up on your case". They were only trying to help and educate you on the health risks Angel might experience.

Regardless of age, finical problems aren't the issue here. I know my local Humane Society and ASPCA spay/neuter for free if someone cannot afford the surgery for their dog. No one was trying to be rude we were just trying to educate you. Even if these puppies do make it, they will be adding to the unwanted pet population. What kind of dog is Angel? I hope she isn't a mutt.

Good luck to Angel and you! Keep us posted.

*sigh* I sure hope you can get her spayed asap. good luck and let us know how she is doing!

IMHO, age is never a valid factor. I was 7 when I convinced my mother to neuter my dog. She wanted to breed him and sell the puppies for money. For what it's worth, I'm only a year older than you. I don't like giving out my age, but I feel that the age factor is a rather limp excuse.

But.. I digress. There are two suggestions that I see being repeated over and over again: 1) at the very least, call your vet 2) spay her ASAP. That is all that we ask of you.

Also, where do you live? If you can give a general location, I'm sure we can help you find lower-priced/affordable veterinary services. It was also mentioned that some vets offer payment plans. Please search every route you possibly can to ensure the health of your pregnant puppy and her puppies as well.

Okay, I promise this is my last thought, but could it be possible that your puppy is having a false pregnancy?

[Little_Angel]

no, she is not. she is having morning sickness and all the signs of pregnancy! she is HUGE! i call her my "pretty pregnant puppy" and my "big bellied baby" LOL!

Please take Angel to a vets now!
Most vets will see an animal in distress regardless of financial restraints.....

now sorry but...when you get Angel and you through this,please you have got to know that,that little girl depends on you to love her and protect her,and make sure her health is always looked after...and i am sorry but if that meant i had to go without so my babies could get that care then go without i would!

I do hope Angel is okay...i will be thinking of her,

[Little_Angel]

I am only 13!!! Stop acting like this is all my fault...GOD!!! I didn't plan on her getting pregnant, it wasn't my choice not to spay her! So stop getting all up on my case!
