8 Month Old Dog Possibly Pregnant

Question
Hi,
My dog (a Chihuahua Pug cross)is supposed to be around 8 months old, I don't know her exact age, but she recently accidentally mated with a Shih Tzu that I thought was fixed.  It has been about 2 weeks since it happened and I have noticed that she is sleeping a lot, all night and most of the day, has thrown up a couple of times in the morning, and has gotten very cuddly, she wants to snuggle all day.  Is 8 months too young to have puppies?  If so, what would a vet do about it?  Is there such thing as an abortion for dogs?

Answer
Hi Brianne

I'm off the opinion that 8 months is too young.  A dam's body has finished developing, growing and maturing and neither has her mind.  Young dogs can reject/kill their litter.

A vet can administer oxytocin to clean out a female.  But you have a very good chance of having that female never conceiving again.  

The flip side is, maybe the male was nuetered and your female is having a false pregnancy.

Good luck
