Hi Tanishia,

It sounds like that vet offered to spay your dog as a way to terminate the pregnancy and prevent future pregnancies. This is a very difficult decision, but I wish you the best whatever you ultimately decide.

Hi Kelly, Yes its so complicated. Im stressed abt this so much! There is not way i cld delay and go laters coz if i wait that m,eans my husband wil have to carry on and i stay back with my dog and child which i also am not very keen on doing. But ofcoz i cld stay if i want. Yes i dont want to out her on some shelter. I dont have a proper friend here who cld relaly take good care of the dog like I do. The last time i gave her to my friend htinking i was gonna leave soon, fluffy ended up getting preg and coming home with a skin infec. If i stayhere with the dog and its pups then its a sacrifice i would have to make coz i have ot go back ot my own country as family matters involve. So Kelly its tough! Also my husband called the main animal health clinic that duz all the travelling docs or the dog, they said that they can do a small operation and prevent fluffy form getting preg again. When i asked my husband wut they meant. to see they can right now remove the puppies. and then in a week fluffy will be healed and ok. and they would give somthing to stop the milk too. So i think this means that the pups would die?Being a dog loveer and very concerned abt animals right i doubt i cld make up my mind in doing somthing like that. FLuffy's pups i cant kill them now can i. ;( If i leave her with someone and go the whole year i wont be able to rest in peace that i know for sure. if she has her pups and then ater few weeks i seperate them from her it might break her heart too. geez, this is such a confusion. he he. I still cant make up my mind as to wut to do. I so wish she didnt get preg. Id relaly hate to lose her again.

Hi Tanishia,

This is an incredibly complicated situation, isn't it? Let me offer a couple of suggestions and you can explore them further. First, is it possible you could delay your own departure and follow your traveling partner after the pups have been weaned and placed in new homes? Second, do you have another friend or family member who would be willing to keep Fluffy for you until you return? I would just be leary about leaving your pet in a shelter or boarding kennel for that long, and I think leaving her with someone you trust would be better for both you and your dog.

As for the vaccinations and worming, what's done is done and hopefully the pups will come through just fine. All you can do on that account is wait and see because there is no way to reverse the situation.

I hope things work out for you in the end. Keep me posted on what you decide to do.
