Hi everyone so Hope went to the Vet this morning. We got some good news and some idk not too bad news! Good news We weighed in at whopping 58.6lbs I'm guessing we packed on a good 5-10lbs within the 2 weeks she's been here! Vet said considering her condition there wasn't any noticeable problems with her that needed immediate attention. General cleaning of the teeth, normal vaccines (didn't have the funds today-which afterwards i could've gotten) nails need some filing.
and the idk not too bad news: Since she was having discharge when we found her she may be preggers! (yayy pup or puppies) she can be spayed now which will obviously terminate the pups if any are in there. The tumor looking mass by one of her teets needs to be removed sooner than later.
So after discussing with my husband about her exam. he without hesitation said NO she will have her puppies if she's pregnant anf then get her fixed. I'm amazed he said that and very touched as well, i would have thought he would agree with the spaying right away. So i'm totally NEw to having a FEMALE dog (will need massive advice) Vet informed me just to watch her belly area will enlarge if there are a few pups not so much if 1 or 2. In 45days i can take her back for x-rays to verify pregnancy. and Then in 2 months (i believe that's what he said) the puppies will be coming!! Sooo they would be Halloween pups if i calcualed correctly.
Next week i'm gonna take her back for her shots so she can go to the groomers (she's way to big for me to try and bathe lol) Awesome part of today is The animal hospital waived my office visit today since i rescued her!!! And she got a new big fluffy bed that she's loving!!!
So any advice on mommy dogs would be greatly appreciated, how will i know if she's prego before her xrays any "mood swing" signs how will i know she's gonna pop and what do i do if or when she does?!!! AHHHH sooo exciting and nerve wrecking all at once!!!
