Question
i have a small pom that weighs like 5lbs and a jack russell long wire terrier mixed i think my male got my pom pregent can she have the puppies or do i need to have them aborted

Answer
Hi Anita. It depends on a few things. If she's healthy, and kept trim, she may be able to have them. It's really hard to say for sure. I'd suggest taking her to your vet and talk with him. He knows your dog's health better than anyone, and should be better able to tell you if she will be able to have them. Anytime a smaller female becomes pregnant by a much larger male, you run the risk of needing a c-section. That's something that you'll have to prepare yourself for.
