Hi Guys
I had a litter last year from my little girl chihuahua and i have found out she is pregnant again.she had the puppies removed from her by the vet and was cut open due to her being so small and not being able to deliver herself.Any advice for the second set of litter due in a few weeks or is it the same all over again?
is there any risks on a second litter?
any advice on repeat pregnacy of chihuahua's??
many thanks
simon

If the birthing passage was too small for the first litter, it will be for the second litter. She needs to be spayed..Problem solved..(I used to breed Chihuahuas).. You can have an ultrasound done at 55 days gestation, to see of she can deliver, but I would just make an appointment for a scheduled C-section and spay..

Honestly? I'd get her in to the vet for an emergency spay now. Yes, that will mean terminating the pregnancy, but obviously your dog can not handle delivery, as evidenced by what happened last time. It sounds like this is not a planned litter, which means that you're not being responsible for your dog, and that the care & consideration that should be used when breeding dogs isn't being done here.
Your dog will be happier, healthier, and less stressed out if you get her fixed.

Schedule the c-section NOW. See a vet ASAP for advice. Have a spay done at the time of the c-section. this dog should not have another litter.

You should have had her de-sexed after the irst litter! But she is deffinitely at extremely high risk of complications as a result f her first pregnancy...mill most probably have to be an assisted pregnancy once more

Im appalled that you risk her life to have another litter. Get her in to be spayed before she is too far along.

you are going to have to do the same thing again she is too small to breed please get her fixed. I am real advocate of shelters and I help out in shelters and you would not believe the purebred animals i see come through there simply because ppl will not sterlize their animals . good luck and god bless and happy holidays.
