Precious's mother passed away....

I can understand your feelings, but you cannot look backwards or feel regretful that you did have Precious spayed. You did this before anything happened. Even if Precious were not spayed, there is always the chance that she could not be bred or carry pups to full term. This does happen.

You have done what you can to help her feel better. Hug your pup tight.

So true and such a wonderful way to say it. There's so much more to breeding a dog that you would have had to undergo to check out before even considering breeding. So the spaying issue might not even have been an issue once they were all completed. The majority of dogs are meant to be pets and don't check out for breeding. I've known people who have bred champion to champion several times and never got a puppy worth breeding. So don't blame yourself, you did the absolute best thing you could ever do for your puppy! And everyone here knows just how much you love her!

Like Emmasmom said, hug your pup tight, take the best care of her you can, and cherish every moment b/c you never know what path life will take you on.
 
Just my opinion but I would not concern yourself with you being the one that has Precious and her not being available to your breeder IF she was hoping to breed her. Also I wouldn’t worry about the choice you made to have Precious spayed. Since you are worried about cancer; keep in mind there are some benefits to having your dog spayed/neutered since you had no plans to breed her.

Spayed/neutered dogs have just about zero chance of testicular or uterine cancer. And in female dogs that have been spayed; their risk of developing breast cancer goes WAY down as well as pesky urinary track infections. I never had my Chihuahua’s spayed and Abbie that past last October had breast tumors (I had them removed) as well as heart condition and clasped trachea.... (her heart gave out). One of my other Chihuahua’s (not spayed) currently has breast tumors that we are keeping a close eye on. She is too senior now to be spayed; had I known that 10 yrs ago I would have had her spayed. Both my Shelties are spayed.

You have a blessing right there with you to love on….Precious!
 
I am so sorry for the loss of Precious's Mom. I pray you will find peace. There is no reason for you to feel guilty. My condolences to the breeder as well.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Precious' Mom, so sad! I agree with Emma, don't worry just do what you would do as her furry Mom anyway. You love her tons and will always be watchful for anything. There's nothing for you to feel guilty about, it's just a horrible situation. Saying a prayer for you, the breeder, and the sweet furry who's gone to the bridge too soon.
