It's interesting that on Yahoo's questions and answers, just this past week, some one asked for help about a 2 pound Chi that got preggie with 3 puppies by another small dog. Most of the answers all said the same thing, that the mother could not carry the 3 puppies and would most likely die. Most answers told her to have the pups aborted in order to save the mothers life. The poster did not want any negative answers as she put it. She was also more concerned about the dog messing her bed when it's time for delivery and wanted to know how to avoid that.
Just thought this was interesting. -------Original Message------- From: Liz Bickel & Irv Weinberg Date: 2/15/2011 2:04:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Re: Ok I need some help with this breed emergancy Oh my!!! Daisy was just 2 pounds when you wrote the list on February 6th!!!! That was only 8 days ago. No wonder Daisy can't deliver puppies without a C-section. This is tragic!!! There is no way at all that such a teeny Chi could ever free whelp a litter. No wait & see situation. I hate to sound unsympathetic, but you should have immediately spayed such a tiny girl after a Yorkie bred her! The heck with keeping Becky happy. Then this poor little Chi girl wouldn't be in the situation that she is now in. If nothing else, a spay would have been a lot less expensive than a C-section. Plus far safer. For a 2 pound Chi, even a pregnancy can be life threatening. As a dog breeder yourself, you had to realize this. If Daisy truly is only two pounds, I'm surprised that she can even carry 3 pups. I'd be afraid her uterus might rupture even before delivery. This now goes beyond my imagination. It also goes beyond any farther advice I can offer. I feel very bad for Daisy. What a horrible thing to happen to an 8 1/2 month old, 2 pound Chihuahua. Liz Can you guys help my granddaughter with her chihuahua please add her to your group. Her email is beckybooboo93gmail.com she don't know how ty. Daisy is her dogs name she is a toy only 2 pounds please take her under your wing ty again.
