    Your opinion

    My only female is a pewter, who recently got bit by a rat. She was right at 1600 g when this happened. Now she is on a 4 week antibiotic course and will not be fed during this time. She is a superb eater and hadn't missed a meal prior to being bit.

    Do you think it would be ok to pair her up after she begins to feed again and is off the meds? Vote and give your opinion if you feel so inclined. Thanks in advance.

    In this case, I think it will be fine. She's on antibiotics for a bite wound, not something infectious. However I would wait until she's had a few good meals in her after the wound is healed before breeding. Healing takes a lot of energy, so want to make sure she is in a good plane of nutrition before asking her to make babies.
    Would you breed a wobbler dog even though it had a cool coat?

    Is she on antibiotics because the wound got infected or just as a precaution?

    Thats a good question. But if she's well I'd say go for it.

    She should be fine to breed if she has no issues. Good luck.

    Re: Your opinion

    Hmmm that is a tough one. If you're askings because you're worried about her weight, I'm sure she'd be alright going off feed for only 4 weeks, that's assuming she starts eating again. I'm not familiar with the effects of antibotics so I can't really say. Even if you decided to wait till she eats again it's only four weeks!
