What if I think my dog is preg. And to small to have the pupps?

I have a small dog that is about 4 years old that has never been pregnant, didn’t think that she could get that way…know she is showing signs and the only available male is a lot larger than her. Is she at risk of having much large pupps that it might hurt her when birthing them?

Answer #1

Take her to the Vet and get an educated opinion. And WISE UP and spay her! you ‘didn’t think she could get that way’? Please have her spayed after this is over by termination or delivery.

Answer #2

Yeah, dogs don’t have as much trouble birthing even if the father is bigger, unlike cattle, where if the bull is big, the cow will have trouble calving, dogs are different and can get a c-section

Answer #3

Well ye if the dad is bigger she will more than likly have big pups.. I wouldn’t worry though c-sections are common for small dogs so if she is to small to have the pups your vet will more than liky advise for her to have a c-section… Xo:)
