Hello Britanny…..have you vaccinated your dogs yourself? I believe you can do that in the States I’m in the UK and we can only have their shots at the Vet here….and theres always 2 injections not just one.
I’m so sorry to hear you have lost 2 of your 3 dogs to Parvo….., its a dreadful disease I know. You would be doing the right thing surrendering the puppy to a shelter. If he can be helped they would do that. You need to have a look in the phone book for Shelters in your area, give them a ring and see what they say. I only wish you could take this puppy to a Vet yourself and save him…at least you would have one dog left to love and receive it in return. Perhaps it may be worth phoning Vets too and ask if they could help you? Please do try, its very sad to think you will lose them all.
However if you do surrender this puppy to a shelter please please don’t get another puppy until you can afford to get its shots at a Vet and have enough funds for its future health care.
I wish you good luck and thank you for putting your puppy first.
Hi Cynthia, you probably won’t be able to tell shes pregnant just yet….shes not even half way through the 9 weeks they carry pups.
You may see a slight change in her nipples, perhaps they might be a little redder or bigger than normal but not even that really. Another 3 weeks and you should see some signs.
Perfect thanks yes her nipples are big and the last two look swollon a little is this normal when can I take her to a vet have u had chi babies before!?
And did u experience any complications of the chi’s birth
No I’ve never had Chi’s but all bitches carry them much the same. As for giving birth, did she mate with another Chi? If not puppies may well be too big for her to pass. I would make sure you have her checked by a Vet and one on hand when she goes into labour….these tiny breeds can have problems.
Make sure you worm the puppies when they are born at 2 weeks, 5 weeks, 8 weeks and every 3 weeks after that. Ask Vet about wormer for pups and mum will need worming too…all puppies have worms, they lay dormant in the bitch and pregnancy hormones bring them to life. They are passes to pups through placentas and mums milk. Good luck!!
Yes she tied many successful ties with another chi
Ok thats good at least they are the same size dogs. Hopefully she will have the pups with no problems but be aware that theu still may be too big for her to pass.
