My Gsd had her first litter on 24th july 2015, 6 healthy pups, everything was fine all healthy, mum was healthy we had no problems, now she is currently on her first heat after having the litter which i have kept them seperated but this morning i left them for literally 5 mins and came back to them tied , they were like this for rougly another 5 mins, so a max of 10 mins in total, i let her straight out to pee to try and minimise the chances of her getting pregnant again but obviously it is highly likely she could get pregnant from this, i am now so worried about her as it is so soon after her first litter, i am not a breeder the first time round was an accident and i know i am so stupid for letting this happen again, please give advise of my safest options for her, risks included. She is almost 3 years old.

Run to the vet for absortion ( Alizine? 2 shots )
Afterwards I´d spay the female.

That treatment can cause a lot of problems I had it done would never do it again safer to let her have the pups.imo

If you have no intention of breeding her, or letting her have the pups, have her spayed now. There is a slightly higher risk of bleeding during the surgery due to the blood flow to the uterus being increased during a heat, but an experienced vet should know how to manage that risk.

"TELL HIM TO GIVE HER IV FLUIDS DURING THE SURGERY* That will keep her blood pressure up, and help the vet to be sure all bleeding is stopped. When I had Star spayed, the vet didn't do this. When her blood pressure returned to normal about 8 hours after the surgery, she began to bleed internally. The vet refused to open her up again, and just bandaged her abdomen to try to stop the bleeding. I easily could have lost her if I hadn't insisted he go back in and stop the bleeding!

This same vet killed someone else's female that was suffering from pyometra. It was an elderly female, and at first he tried to treat the pyo with antibiotics, which is almost never successful. (the owner didn't have a lot of money, and couldn't afford the cost of the spay.) When he finally decided he had to spay her to save her life, she hadn't been eating or drinking for several days. He took this elderly, dehydrate bitch into surgery, did NOT give her IV fluids, then sent her home almost immediately afterwards. She was so sick she didn't want to move, and her owner didn't realize she was bleeding, because her dog bed absorbed it all. By the time he saw the blood underneath her, it was too late to save her.

Thank you for your replies, so basically i have 3 options... Go ahead with the pregnancy, get the injections, or get her spayed.... All have complications, i obviously want the safest option for her so i guess i will call around a few different vets and get opinions that way
