Pregnant Scottish Terrier

[buttercup132]

What exactly are you asking of us?? People have given you their opinions, but you dont seem at all interested. So what exactly are you looking for??

Attention? Sympathy? Potential buyers?

I am not trying to start anything just getting some advice

Sorry but you come onto a pet board saying you failed to watch your dog in heat while around a intact male..it's gonna start something. I'm assuming you came here because the other boards got upset too. And if you were planning on breeding her you should know what to expect. Unless of course you planned on doing it the BYB way. But OF COURSE you wouldn't be doing that now would you?

I think you need to supervise your bitch in season better.

I think you need to do more research about breeding in general since increasing diet and caloric load before week 6 can lead to issues in some bitches.

I think vaccinating a bitch who might be in whelp is VERY UNWISE!!!!!! ESPECIALLY RABIES!!!!

I think you should research Von Willebrand's Disease in Scottish Terriers.

I think you should have an ultrasound done on your bitch to ascertain for CERTAIN if she is in whelp.

And I really think you should spay your puppy and forget about breeding.

I love that we have reputable breeders on PT now. Great post count it as my opinion too.

(VET told me is was ok to do so it was not my choise and is a KILLED vac NOT live)

Just thought I'd throw this out there too most vets are dummies.
Of course they will tell you to vac you dog more money for them faster.

(How dare you say such thing? I have NEVER brought dollar signs into this. If you dont know then dont get into my business please. I came for help ONLY. See this is what happends in most forums. Anyways vet said she felt two things. I am 100% sure i am keeping one puppy and my grandmother is keeping another one for SURE.)

(Oh okie then who in the world can we trust for our pets? And i have READ myself that YES you can give dogs killed vac while pregnant but NOT live ones at all. I have given her no MEDS at all either and not planning to.)

Ok anything else?

If you don't want people knowing your buisness don't go posting on public forums where everyone can read especially if your just going to argue their opinion PLEASE!

I guess you missed the part where I said MOST vets.

(Then can you send me somewhere else for helping advice and less argument for something that cant be fixed?)

I'm sorry everyone is being so rude but they really just care for the dogs best intrest. It isn't to early to do an ultrasound. Most vets will do it at any time. It's best to know now if she is pregnant rather than later. She is a beautiful girl. Make sure to research research research before the time comes for her to give birth!

Egads....if you had done your research, as you claimed, you would know that at this point a pseudopregnancy would look exactly the same as a real pregnancy unless you had an ultrasound done. So the answer to your question is if you want to know at this point ASK FOR AN ULTRASOUND.

Unfortunately, even that is not always 100%
