Kristina Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 My neighbour came over telling me his dogs were 'stuck' and he was worried there was no way to seperate them and wanted to know what now!!! I explained it to him, etc. Now the prob is, his female is a 9yr old malt, she apparently already has 'leakage' problems and she is chubby too. I told him it's best he get her injected to abort but he doesn't want to do that, or desex, or anything else. I told him things could go wrong, etc. He also said it probably won't work cos she mated last season and wasnt pregnant from it, but then the male was still a young pup and had mated their other girl (she no longer alive, long story) So i was thinking that last time maybe it didn't work cos either 1, he was too young, or 2. he was used up from the other mating. Anyway, what do others think? Is she going to fall pregnant? I have seen older dogs have a litter and be fine, but this girl i don't think is totally healthy enough, and apart from incontinence, dont' know what other problems she might have. I will try and talk him into aborting it in a wk or so again, but want some other thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Neighbour is an idiot, but you already know that. If he will listen the vets for 2 injections to abort is easy to do it now. Then desex of course. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Maybe get him to take to her a good vet and get them to tell him what will be best. He might pay more attention if it comes from a vet than from you. Poor little girl - I hope she's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 When you mentioned things could go wrong, did you flat out say his beloved pet could die? Often hitting between the eyes with something like that is enough to push the owners to do the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I wonder, why did he come to you in the first place if he doesn't want to do anything about it or listen to your advice. What sort of dog is the male, I hope it's a small breed at least if he intends to make her carry the pregnancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Perhaps suggest taking both of them to your vet to get her a check up and letting the vet be the one to give him the facts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 make sure you suggest a vet who knows what they're talking about with Alizin. I had a couple of numpties tell me not to have it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymoo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 From what youve put here I think this guy is a lost cause and I feel sorry for the bitch. People like this give me the s----, so sorry for you having to listen to his crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
