I was under the assumption that pregnant dogs don't go into heat. As soon as we got our foster rescue home, she started her heat (blood drips). That lasted about 2 weeks. I am absolutely 100% positive that she had no contact with male dogs. She never left the house. Not even to go outside. She is extremely fearful and we haven't worked up to outdoor walks yet. Her nipples began swelling, but i know nothing about female dogs so i just thought it was the heat. Is this normal?
Bonus Awful Side story:
She was spayed today. The vet's office called me a few hours after we dropped her off and asked if she was my dog. I said she was a foster dog. That was it. We go to pick her up, find out she was pregnant and they just did the spay without informing anyone (even the foster organization). My wife was devastated. They also charged us 3 times as much for our own dog's spay. I'm livid. I started dropping f bombs (4 of them) (in conversation with my wife, not directed at any staff) and walked out to the parking lot to cool down. my wife is already in tears because of their surprise abortion, and they tell her they're calling the police. (it's illegal to swear where i live) they called the foster organization and told them they will not do any more free spaying or neutering for them. because i swore. i am honest to god not simplifying my reaction to the story. i swore 4 times, i will admit it was loud but not screaming and not directed at anyone. and now the local animal welfare society will most likely go bankrupt. the vet gave us no info on how to care for the dogs. on the plus side we didn't have to pay 3x and the police weren't called (as far as i know, maybe they were called and laughed at the vet's office).
i hate this country.
