Question

my dog princess
my 3 legged min pin rat terrior "Princess" is a yr old and is 8 weeks pregnant by a yr old toy fox terrior. my question is are my dogs chances for survival lower after delivery due to her handicap. she was born this way. instead of a 4th leg her front right leg grew in to look just like a chicken wing.

Answer
Hi. I don't see how this will effect your dogs' survival rate, just keep an eye out to make sure mom can lay down with the pups without hurting them. I don't know if this is a genetic condition or what, but if it is, be prepared for the chance that some of the pups may be born like that as well. She's a pretty girl. Good luck.
