Small dog pregnant by bigger dog?

Question

my 35lb beagle mated with my 9lb maltese and she's pregnant...could she carry the puppies full term or would there be complications becaue of their size difference

the mating was not planned..she was wearing a diaper and when we were gone we think it happened

Answer 1

We had a similar problem with one of our dogs a number of years ago and she almost died when the puppies were born. She had to have a C-section and only one of the puppies lived. You should probably check with a vet. We did not have the opportunity to do that because of where we lived at the time.

Answer 2

Measuring the penis when it isn't erect is pointless, since the length and bulk are affected by various temporary factors, such as the ambient temperature. Even the largest male organ can shrink to virtually nothing if the man goes for a swim in cold water. However, at normal temperatures a non-erect p enis usually measures between 8.5 cm and 10.5 cm (3-4 inches) from tip to base.

The average figure is about 9.5 cm (3.75 inches). Of course, it's true that some men have big penises and some have smaller ones, just as some men have small feet and some have big feet, but the measurement is not – repeat not – an index of virility.

Answer 3

there will be complications
that is too big of a size difference, and attempting to carry these puppies full term will most likely cause the mother to die from these complications
I urge you to go to your vet and have your dog spayed, during the process of spaying her they will abort the puppies and thereby save her life.
it is better to have her spayed now, then to wait until later because the longer you wait, the bigger the puppies grow, and the bigger the puppies grow, the more blood she will lose during the operation, and the incision will have to be far larger the longer you wait.
you also want it to be done when the pups are smaller also so that her body does not go into shock when she loses them (rarely happens, but is still possible.)
if you are not sure if she is pregnant, then here are a couple things to look for:
a clear mucus looking discharge from the vagina
or you can take the dog to the vet to be tested
if the possible mating took place a month ago, then the vet will be able to pick up heartbeats on the ultra sound
in all honesties, the pups will continue to grow even though her body won't be able to take it, then they will be too large for her to carry or to push out
and if by some miracle she does manage to deliver the pups without dieing during the process, she would most likely die soon after from overexertion and exhaustion
and even if she did live, her body would not be able to produce enough milk for all the pups
the pups would be sickly from lack of nutrients both in the womb of a mother who could not support them and you would have to bottle feed the pups from day one because the mother would not be able to produce enough milk

OMG Yes.. That is a HUGE difference in size.. Why would you have allowed that to happen.. How do you figure she is going to get those huge puppies out of there?? Letting nature take it's course.. will kill her.. I can't imagine what you were thinking.. You NEED to take her to the vet and have her checked, tell him what the heck you did and see what he thinks about the whole thing.. Make sure he is there for a c-section when she is ready to blow... You will want to start putting away your allowance now cause this is sure gonna cost you !



oopps what I meant to say was

Don't worry, dogs have puppies all the time.. She'll be fine.. Let nature take it's course.. She'll have no problems at all.. That's what dog's do, have puppies.. Not a worry in the world.. Hug her for me... It might be the last time you get the chance..

Answer 5

Most of the time, the puppies growth will tailor itself to the size of the mother, but there is a possibility that a full term pregnancy would be too much, since the size difference is so great. I would ask your vet to see how many puppies she's carrying, and figure out if her body will be able to properly support the growth of them all.

Answer 6

The male needs to be the same size or smaller than the female especially in very small breads. If the male is to big the female can die from trying to deliver to large of pups.

Answer 7

Since the puppies will be small when born, there should
be no problem. If she would have been mated by a large dog
like a Boxer or Great Dane, that might present some problems. Beagles and Malteses are both classified as small
dogs.

Answer 8

the only problem you may run into is she may neede a c-section. Keep up with your prenatal vet visits, have her x-rayed soon before she's due to determine about how many pups she has. Just keep in touch with your vet. I've seen huge labs get a hold of 30lb dogs, and be ok, but that's not always the case.

Answer 9

You need to have her spayed and the fetuses terminated. Sorry to be so brash, but this won't end up good for any of them.

Answer 10

Thats a huge difference in size. She might die during pregnancy & she'll probably need a c-section. You need to talk to your vet .
