is this safe

Question
i have a 14 yr old sharpe and i think she may be pregnant what should i do

Answer
Hi Nicole:

At 14 this can prove to be a difficult situation. Depending on if she's ever had a litter before it would be best to one) establish if she's truly pregnant by contacting your vet & discussing what tests are available - a lot depends on how far along she may be and then two) if she is pregnant you can discuss your options with your vet as to the safest way to proceed. It may be best to have the litter terminated if your vet feels it's not safe for her to continue with the pregnancy & whelping.
