hi people, i've got a bit of a problem,my boy staffordshire bull terrier has accidently mated with his mum,it happened in the kitchen when my little boy left the door open and no one noticed until i walked in on them,i was about to chuck a cup of water over them to ruin the moment but they were locked up! i really dont know what to do,any advise would be helpful,thanks, jamie.

Hi Jamie this mating is far to close being it a mother, son mating. Did the mating take place today?
On Monday morning I would advise you ring your vet straight away and get your girl booked in for whats called a mis mating injection. This should stop the pregnancy continuing. Speak with your vet about the different drugs used for this, and the after affects of it - one of the side affects can be bringing the bitch back into full blown season, which you would have to be careful about to risk this happening again.. I believe there are two different ones you can choose from one being around £30 and the other £60. (These are the prices at my vets, may be different at yours).
The two I know of are..
Alizin
Mesalin
I would perfere to use Mesalin this is given on day 3 and 5 after mating.
Good luck - and please consider neautering one or both of your dogs

and also make arrangements for someone else to look after one of them for you whilst mum is in season

Yes the missmate jab would be the way to go

Let us know how it goes

I agree Mis mate Jab or similar. Also speak to your vet re spaying and neutering. Kids being kids and not always concentrating on what they are doing could leave doors open and it could happen again if not this time next.
Also male dogs can be very ingenious at getting to a female in season if your not careful.

Mismate would be what you need to do.

Also, I would suggest you book 1 or both of them in to be fixed to stop this from happening again.

The vet will be able to give you advice of the risks and so on but a mother and son mating is a huge risk for any puppies as well as like any pregnancy a risk to mummy too.

Good luck.

this close mating was only stopped by the kennel club quite recently

Indeed it was - last year wasnt it!

i know it was quite recent dd
