Answer
Hi Steve -- the only problem with the "morning after" pill for dogs is that there is a chance that your female will never produce another litter again.

Depending on her temperament, I would let it go, however that being said, some Pugs are known for ignoring their litters.  Keep that in mind and be prepared for the eventuality that you may be hand raising pups.  It may not happen, but it's always good to be in the know.

Good luck.
