Rocky is not doing well :(

Thank you for keeping Rocky in your thoughts!

I will tell my mother about the six months, I think she believes it's 8 or 9 months. Also, her vet has told her not to spay her before she's one year old, but of course they don't want her to be pregnant!

I'm sorry Rocky isn't feeling well & do hope he has many, many more
good days to come.Sometimes I think they know better than we do when
the final days are on them. So sad to see.Female dogs can get pregnant
as early as 5 1/2 mos. It depends on the size of the breed. Of course, it is
not good for the female or the pups.

Thank you!

I had no idea that dogs can get pregnant at such a young age!! I need to have a word with my mother, and I wonder why her vet recommended not to spay her before she's one year old? After all, she's living with a male rottie!!

Poor Rocky, I will keep him in my prayers and hope the end isn't too soon. Yes that adorable Emma is becoming a teenager a beautiful one too! Cute pictures they look like they are getting along great!

[Kirsten]

Yes, they are very good pals, and Emma adores Rocky. I guess it will be hard for her when Rocky isn't around anymore...

Poor Rocky. I'll keep him in my thoughts. Gentle ((hugs)) to him!
And both of them are so beautiful and happy together. I can never get enough pictures of those two!

They may have suggested it becouse larger breed dogs need the mormones to help develop more of the skeltal structure for strength. But your folks will have to be very alert to her coming in to heat. and seprate them quickly. It would be very hard on little Emma to have pups at this age. It would be better to have her spay than that happen.
Sorry to hear the old boy is not doing so well. I am always nervous about reading your posts about him. Just love that pretty boy.
