Our dog, Charley may or may not be in the family way. We have tried to protect her from herself and her ranging hormones, but we are unsure whether or not we were successful. Her heat cycle is nearly over, and she is not receptive to other dogs anymore. However, a few weeks ago we were walking her in the park, when she was attacked by another dog. It took us a few moments to realize what was happening, and when we did we pushed the other dog right off. But we are unsure if it was too late.
Is there any way of telling if she is pregnant or not? From my online search of dog care I was unable to determine any signs or symptoms of pregnancy until a vet can pick up heartbeats or feel for puppies. The vet is financially not do-able. There are usually wives tales and other folksy tell tale signs aren't there?
I have noticed that she is eating a lot more and her nipples are becoming larger. I just hope that this isn't a sign of things to come.
I honestly don’t think I could cope if our dog is expecting. Not just from the financial perspective of feeding a whole bunch of baby dogs, but from a health perspective. I should have probably mentioned before now, but I don’t keep too well, and the thought of having to deal with litters of puppies running around is just too much to cope with. I have been crying myself to sleep every night, and having nightmares about her giving birth. All that yick and mess and blood and baby dogs everywhere, and I don’t know what to do to make it better.
I was thinking of just taking her for a drive in the car, and dumping her somehwere. However, I noticed someone talking on another forum about a doggy abortion, but as a Christian I’m not sure if that would sit well with God. What does the Bible say about it? I know aborting human babies is evil, and God condemns it. But is animal abortion allowed? And if so, does anyone know how I’d go about it? I had thought about maybe throwing her down a flight of stairs or beating her with a baseball bat, and seeing if that helps? I really don’t know, and I’m at my wits end. Please help!
My husband thinks we should just shoot her in the head, and buy another one. He wants one of those Japanese fighting dogs.
What do you think I should do?
