We rescued a pregnant pit today... - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**tweriaroats** · 01-01-2011, 12:53 AM

I got a message on a local neighborhood forum about a very pregnant pit bull that nobody could catch in a really bad neighborhood. I tried to ignore it but of course this morning my husband and I headed over to "just" help catch her. I told myself I was definitely not coming home with a dog. A couple of our friends from the neighborhood were already there. They had set a dog trap, but hadn't had any luck. I tried to coax her over but she wasn't having any of it. I sat on the ground next to her for about an hour with a bowl of food. She would come up behind me and sniff me but then dart off. I finally got her to eat out of my hand and looped her. Now to get her in the crate without spooking her. I laid down with her and just started petting her. She finally started trusting me and I feel comfortable lifting her in the crate with the help of our friends. During the ordeal all sorts of interesting characters started asking us questions. It was pretty nerve racking. There was another pit bull across the street in a junkyard that kept walking up to us, next I plan on having a word with her owner about keeping his dog properly contained and offer to spay his dog. Our friends named the pregnant dog Bailey. When we got her home, she was a completely different dog, tail wagging and demanding we pet her. She curled up in my lap and started snoring like it was the safest nap she's ever taken. We have turned our bathroom into a whelping room. It looks like we won't be able to get her spayed before she has them. I think she's already in labor, we'll see....

As I was posting this thread, fluids start coming out of her vulva. I'm pretty sure baby #1 is almost here and she is insisting on giving birth in my lap. I can the feel the babies moving around in her belly.

Oh my GOODNESS! I bet she's very happy to have you! she's hugely pregnant!

**HaroTaure** · 01-01-2011, 01:10 AM

Yay! Now I can just subscribe to the thread and check it on my phone throughout the night.

Thank you and good luck! Let me know if I can help you in any way for the next few days. I am broke right now but if you need something to be done I will be off work until the 4th.

**WepKeyday** · 01-01-2011, 01:17 AM

What a lucky girl, you went to get her in the knick of time. Thank you for caring for her!

I hope she has a swift and safe delivery.

**igs00r** · 01-01-2011, 01:21 AM

**Ecurrexchangess** · 01-01-2011, 01:32 AM

**art_fan_12** · 01-01-2011, 01:43 AM

Thats so sweet that shes wanting to give birth with you right there like that. After you just met her none the less! Hope the delivery goes smoothy! Thanks for helping her! Looks like she is very thankful to you also!

**stutnerman** · 01-01-2011, 02:00 AM

She really don't resemble a pit bull to me but either way hopefully all goes well with the birth and all the pups get homes.

**wallyfindme** · 01-01-2011, 02:06 AM

LOL,the second pic looks like a pig.I'ts nice you are helping her and giving her a warm place to have her pups. A lot of people wouldn't have touched that situation with a ten foot pole.Maybe the stress of being caputered sent her into labor.Goodluck.

**DrJonson** · 01-01-2011, 02:33 AM

Poor sweet girl. Bless you for helping her.

**Vapepreab** · 01-01-2011, 02:52 AM

Talk about perfect timing

Thank you for helping her and hope all goes well with the delivery.

**incizarry** · 01-01-2011, 02:59 AM

**ApporpSothe** · 01-01-2011, 03:42 AM

**tweriaroats** · 01-01-2011, 04:59 PM

Still no puppies. We are trying to find a vet that's open, the 4 clinics we work with are closed today.

**Ruidselisse** · 02-01-2011, 06:39 PM

How's she doing SAB?

**tweriaroats** · 02-01-2011, 07:14 PM

She is good, we heard back from our vet yesterday and she said not to worry since she's still wagging her tail, being active, not acting in distress, and she doesn't have a fever. We are bringing her in tomorrow. Still no puppies...
