I got a small female mini-pincher and accidentally it got pregnant. The culprit father happens to be a mixed medium sized mastiff terrier, lol! Her tummy has gotten bigger, and my neighbors told me that there would be problems at delivery of puppies including miscarriage or death of my min-pin, and also there is a probability of a caesarian section if the puppies would not be able to pass through. The min-pin has been with us for three years and my kids really love it. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? without my min-pin being in danger?

That's an "Oh, my God!" I think you better ask a vet for that situation. So your min-pin will be operated as soon as possible before she delivers the puppies or her tummy got even bigger.

She is maybe due by next month, and quite sure that it would be a problem as her tummy is quite big. A caesarian section would be the best option, and with the cost of having one with the veterinarian is quite expensive, almost cost the same as the price of my min-pin.

Next month? I wish her good luck. If it's caesarian, I hope she can survive it all. Don't mind the expenses because you love so dearly your min-pin and you have to do everything possible. Let's just pray for her successful delivery.

How did this happen? Didn't you know she was in heat, or how? I suggest you to get her spayed before the birth of the puppies. You don't know if she will be able to carry the pregnancy till the date. You could loose her before the birth day. If you spay her now, the risks are reduced to minimum.

Octav1 said to SPAY your dog, not "spray"... which means have her sterilized so that she cannot produce any more unwanted litters. As a responsible pet owner, it's a good idea to discuss spaying (or neutering, for a male) with your vet before adding further to a pet population that already needs homes I mean, are you in a position to keep and raise all the puppies your dog could potentially have? That would be a much more costly proposition than your current consideration for the cost of a C-section.

I know she was in heat, and by accident too we saw the culprit doing it, lol! They were tied up a couple of times, thrice, witnessed by one of my kids. And now over a month now, she has gotten bigger. What do you mean by spray? The vet did not mention that to me. Can it really reduce the risks involved?

Yes, thinkingoutloud, I was talking about "spaying". Sometimes I confuse "spaying" and "neutering" and I misuse them, talking about spaying a male dog or neutering a female dog... In your case, obe212003, spaying could save your dog's life. You don't know if she will survive the act of giving birth to some huge puppies, neither you know if the vet will be there on time to save her life.

Well, the vet's advice was well defined, and C-section has a high probability, wohhh!! The cost would be expensive, and i never thought it would be just similar to a normal human delivery with regards to the cost. Keeping my fingers crossed though... to wait a month for the results.

I'm not downing your vet at all, but you may want to call around and get pricing from a few others in your area. I raise English Bulldogs (they require c-sections 99% of the time) and I know the price swing is considerable in my area. One local vet charges just $400 (and she is a GREAT vet), while another just 20 minutes down the road charges well over $1000! And there are many prices in between at the other local offices. Also, ask about their experience with min pin c-sections, and c-sections in general. Many vets only do these occasionally, so you will want to find one with the most experience with these types of surgeries. Doing some research to know exactly what to look for and when you must take her to the vet should also ease your mind a bit. The major complication with this pregnancy is that the puppies will be too large and can become lodged in the birth canal, most likely killing the puppy and risking moms life as well. So you don't want to wait too long after her water breaks/labor begins to get her to the vet. You may also want to consider having her spayed at the same time to avoid anything like this in the future and it shouldn't cost any more to do that. I'm sure everything will work out just fine! Have fun with your new babies!!

Got an advice from a vet, and actually got a total assessment of the delivery scenario if problems would arise, and i don't think i would be able to pay for the caesarian procedure. Just keeping my fingers cross, hoping the my min-pin would go through this.

It's more thank shock, lol! I just can't imagine the outcome for my min-pin, for its puppies as there is a high risk for survival, and lastly the expensive caesarian procedure. Anyways, still a month to go and hopefully my min-pin would go through with this.

It is a shame your female mini pincher got pregnant by a medium sized mastiff dog. I think a vet could do a scan to see how many puppies she is expecting. Yes, she could have a caesarian birth organized by your vet. This would be the safest option for her. You shouldn't risk a normal birth. Tell your vet the day your female dog got pregnant. Good luck to you are your female dog.
