My dog is pregnant again. Is a spay abort still possible at 50 days?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

This will be my dogs 2nd time being pregnant, she was pregnant 2 years ago. She became aggressive and did not like having her puppies around. She is now pregnant again because I had my brother watching her - I advised that she stay in her cage when he was at work or letting his male dog out. He was at work and his step daughter let the two dogs play unsupervised. The male dog is her son! I am wondering if it is too late for a spay abort. She is about 50 days or less

Thank you for more information on your dog and the situation. A dog's pregnancy lasts between 58-68 days. Spaying her is still possible, but it's up to the vet to decide if they want to do it or not. As I said, there are vets who do not like to spay pregnant dogs that are far along in their pregnancy. I would give local vet clinics a call to see they would be willing to spay her. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
