I have a blenhiem king charles spaniel and between a house move we had no choice but to stay at my mums home. She has a male CKCS. My Female came into heat and this was monitored carefully with the two of them seperated. My mum lives in a large house and it was going well. At night we had no choice but to keep her in a crate locked up securely. The male dog was shut in the bedroom with my mum in her bed. During her fertile time he did go a bit loopy to get to her but he did eventually settle for the night. As morning approached, the bedroom door was open and downstairs the cage was open with a huge mess of chewed mess and two very tired dogs. We were all distraught as in all the years of having dogs this kind of thing has never happened. I know we weren't irresponsible but it doesn't make me think highly of myself.
We obviously rang the vets straight away and he fitted her in for two days after to give her maselin injection to prevent pregnancy, she had two shots of this. a routein check 3 weeks later showed she probably wasnt pregnant.
2 weeks after which was yesterday, I still wasn't happy as her behaviour has changed and her nipples were still large and had her back at the vet. This time he thinks he can feel one single fetus. She is now booked for an ultrasound but this is not for a whole week (they cant get one sooner and tried all vets locally) However, according to dates she is due in two weeks.
Im a midwife and Im getting a bit neorotic on complications of birth and though im an expert in prenancy well as you know nothing in dogs. I want the best care for her safety first and would love different answers. The vet is currently saying a CS but is there risks to that over a spontanous delivery like in ourselves
