First off, please don't flame me, as I didn't realize what situation I was getting into..... I really just need advice. I have already contacted my vet and am waiting her call. I also did research online and can assure you this will never happen again....

This is the situation. A few times a week I walk with my 4 year old unfixed lab Chloe to my friends house for coffee. She has a 3 year old unfixed Laso Apso (<--sp?), Duncan. They are great friends themselves and love to play together while B and I have coffee.

Well today I went for my usual walk. Chloe and I had not been over for a week due to her being in heat. So fast forward.... We spent about 2 hours visiting while Chloe and Duncan played in the backyard. When it was time to leave I opened the door to call Chloe and found her squated down on the ground with Duncan behind her doing his thing! I yelled at them and Chloe stood up and Duncan fell off.

Her bleeding has stopped and most of the swelling of the vulva had gone down (her tail end is still a little swollen though) and just a little bit of pinkish/yellow discharge was left. I thought we were safe. I realize now from reading that is not necessarily true and will NOT repeat my mistake.

My question is, since most of the vulval swelling has gone down and her vulva is not hanging down like it was, more tipped back toward her tummy and, they didn't get stuck together, and he fell off when I called Chloe, is there still a chance she got pregnant? I am going to do whatever I can to prevent puppies if there is a risk (still waiting on the vet's call) but I am worried and wondering. Any advice or expert knowledge out there?

Hi she could be pregnant(slip mating) take her to the vets for the mismate jab.

What does the mismate jab entale? If necessary I will get her fixed but we had planned to mate her with my brother in law's lab at her next heat... Is it a medication they can just give her?

The mismate jab will abort any pregnancy

I am by no means an expert but since this isn't a mating you would want then I would suggest that the jab is they way to go, what did the vet say? I know I would if this had happened to me (and yes I know others wouldn't agree but there is no need for more miscellaneous cross breeds)

thank you so much. I will get that done asap. Do you really think a female lab and male Laso Apso could have mated under those conditions though? And is she still able to have pups worth selling (I thought I read that if a mismate like this happened the female was not of breeding quality anymore) or if I have the mismate jab done is she still ok to mate? She has champion bloodlines and we were really looking forward to breeding her with Wylee (also champion bloodlines) when we had more info on it....

yes she could be pregnant. If you are planning to mate her - i would suggest some research into breeding too. Ive been told the book of the bitch is very good.

I'm concerned that you don't yet know enough to even think about breeding.

Get the mismate jab and then if you are planning to breed her get her health tested first. What even makes you think your brother in law's lab is a suitable match?? Sounds to me like it's just convenience.

Still waiting on my vets call, she is in emergency surgery right now so it might not be until after they close.... I hope tomorrow morning isn't too late!
