Question
please help, my 4 yr old jack russell Bitch was mated by my nieghbours Staffordshire terrier this morning, I am worried that she will be too small to carry/deliver these dogs, is there anything a vet can do to end the pregnancy? If not, how will she cope?

Answer
Hi Sandra

If is twas just the one time this morning, take her to the vet for a shot of oxytocin.  It will clean her out.

Little JRT are tough dogs, but a Staffy might still be too big for her to birth, especially if he has some big dogs in his make up.

Good luck
