My small dog is accidentally pregnant. Can she carry or terminate?

Question

I have a husky mix who is just a little over a year old. She is a pretty small size dog probably about the size of a border collie of not just a tad smaller and my Doberman recently got a hold of her on her heat and I am extremely worried that she will not be able to have the puppies or carry them. I don’t know if I’m able to get her a medication that will terminate the pregnancy if not. If able to I don’t want it to hurt her. My question is, is she going to be able to carry this liter and be ok. Pet's info: Dog | Husky | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 50 lbs

There isn't a safe method to terminate pregnancy other than spaying them. There also isn't a way to guarantee that Millie will be able to have the puppies. I would recommend discussing this scenario with Millie's vet. The vet can help you determine the best course of action. If she is pregnant and you elect not to have her spayed, it would be best to save money for a possible emergency c-section and know the available vet should an emergency arise.
