Accidental Mating

18 11:58:51

Question
I have a 2 yr. old Bichon (12lbs) who I am afraid may have gotten pregnant by a 1 yr. old pitbull.  I don't think she could carry/deliver puppies this size.

I spoke to my vet who said they could spay her, or wait and do an xray and c-section.

Is there a natural remedy to safely induce a miscarriage?

Thank you for any advice!

Answer
Hi Dianne

You can have your vet administer oxytocin.  This will induce her to go into labor.  She will need a couple of doses.  How far along is she?

I would recommend the oxytocin, there is no way she can safely whelp the litter without assistance.  

Good luck
