Question
My 1 1/2 female pit was in heat about 4 weeks ago and I have a male also..I dont know if she was hit by him, however her last four breast seem to be filling up...what should i do if i cant afford to take her to the vet right now.

Answer
There is an overpopulation of Pit Bulls, too many people are breeding them or allowing them to breed and there aren't enough homes, especially in this economy.  They are being euthanized at shelters just because there's no homes for them.  You should find a low cost spay/neuter in your area, (Google it) and have her spayed immediately before the pregnancy gets any further.  Call any local humane societies or shelters who may be able to help. Also look up a Pit bull rescue in your area.  I would get her spayed quickly if I were you.

If you do not spay her, I suggest feeding her a high-quality puppy food because she is probably pregnant.  Find a low cost vet.  Then start trying to line up good homes for the puppies.  They will need vet care, too, like their first shots.
