how late to spay a pregnant dog?

manelady · #1 (**permalink**) 28-02-2008, 02:42 AM

Australian Cattle Dog, accidental mating, approx. 40 days (almost 7 wks.) pregnant. Would be 3rd litter, no complications. Being pushed to have her spayed NOW, not due to her health concerns. Uncomfortable with such a late termination/surgery, and DO have concerns for her health with this issue! Need information on the complications that could arise during such a late procedure, and info. on the stages of embryo development. Her due date would be 01/22/08. Thank you for any info./advice.

i recently had a bitch spayed and c/section at 60 days ,because we new she already had a weak womb (the mating was accidental),the vet wasnt happy there is a lot of blood loss ,therefore risks ,it is not reccomended and she was very poorly from the blood loss ,although all turned ok in the end ,have you found a vet who would actually santion this? my puppies are often born at 57 days quite healthy ,if you are serious !!!! there is a drug that is used for misaliance which will give a abortion even at this late stage .then spey the bitch when she has recovered

Sorry but i dont understand accidental matings. You must know when your bitch is due in season, and when she is make sure shes not mixing with other dogs to get prgnant.
