I wouldnt use any form of inducing Unless she was in pain / had signs of distress or needing intervention. Im pretty sure my girl was a good few days over due and was fine!

Hope the vets goes well!

Sorry but thats not totally correct but then Im only going on my own experiences.

I have a few chinnie queens that have never been bred from and to date none of them have developed a pyo. One of my girls had her first litter of four babies at nearly four years old with no problems whatsoever.

If queens are going to develop a pyo they are just as much at risk of getting it when they have been mated, possibly more.
