It's a very strange Tuesday here at the Animal Comedy offices, animal fam. Never in our career of writing about dogs and pets have we come across a story like this one. You usually think of vets and trustworthy people, right? Well, apparently not all of them. One hooman took her delightful doggo to get spayed (as most dog owners do), but then noticed something different about her a few months later. It turns out she was pregnant….but now?

They went to another vet after getting nowhere with the one who completed the surgery, and after some digging, they found that the previous vet had made a terrible mistake (and wouldn't admit to it). A few months later, her doggo gave birth to twelve healthy puppies, but needless to say, she's going to take her previous vet to court over not completing the job she paid them to do. Scroll down to read the full story and understand how this magnificent, mysterious momma ended up giving birth to a litter of perfect puppies!

    That is a lot of puppies

    Imagine taking your dog to get spayed, and then ending up with 12 puppies. 12! That's a lot of puppies, even for someone who likes dogs. You have to send them to foster homes or give them away at some point…unless you live on a farm in the countryside and have the money to feed 12 fast-growing doggos. We love dogs, we really love dogs, and we're not sure we could handle 12 puppies. It sounds like heaven and a full-time job all at the same time.

    We are obsessed with this singular white puppy. They say in the comments below that they think the neighbor's great dane is the father, so that might explain the white coloring (assuming the great dane is anything other than black). We're not sure why people don't fix their dogs unless they're planning on breeding them, and we also think that there should be less amateur breeders in the world. You need to really know what you're doing and know how to care for doggos if you're going to breed them!

    So here's the pupdate after our vet visit today: They are all colored tagged now, so sadly orange and light blue are still at the vet for overnight observation. They are just the 2 pups having a hard time gaining weight and their labwork wasn't as strong compared to the others. The vets are just going to keep an eye on them for the night to make sure everything developed great and see if there's a reason why they're just choosing sleep over food. Light blue was one we had to save.

    The rest of the pups are tripling in weight! Even the second runt (red) that we saved! They are getting more active everyday and green is becoming an escape artist from the playpen.

    Now as for Bonnie, the prior vet for her spaying only took out 1 ovary. Left EVERYTHING ELSE in tact. Her bleeding was infact her heat cycle. Even with this documentation, just solidifies I'm going to small claims court with them. I tried to even show the old clinic the documentation and just asked for a refund for spaying and just the emergency vet visit bill to be paid from November, nothing else. They denied, so court it is.

    The vet also did a DNA swab for the pups, but the vet is betting that they are Lab GREAT DANE mixes after showing the photo of the neighbor dogs. The neighbor (potential baby daddy for pups) they're excited to see the pups and even asked to help with them. That was sweet of them and I told them no need, but they're interested in a pup!

    Bonnie is now more interested in being away from the cage for the last 2 days, she just wants to play with her siblings. Is this normal for new first time dog mothers?

    Beanandthebee • 22h ago • Oh my gosh what a wild ride!!! Volunteer in animal rescue here--- it's not unusual for some momma pups to not take to being mothers at first (or sometimes at all--- they're like is going on I hate change and what is all this lol) or in some cases they may just want a break from the little ones for a bit. Means you need to be more hands on with the puppies to make sure they're gaining weight and such but you seem to be doing a fantastic job at that so far.

    Flower_Power73 • 1d ago • Top 1% Commenter Wow, you've had time with this! The pups are beautiful and I wish you the best of luck finding them great homes. This could happen to anyone! I've noticed there's a lot of know it alls and smart in Reddit...pay you no mind to these tropes as I've been following your story!

    TranslatorMoney419 20h ago • WOW! Didn't know that was possible. We chose to do a laparoscopic spay on our girl. Was this a mistake made by the vet only removing one ovary? My girl had 2 inch long incisions, hoping he got both. Adorable pups, prayers for all, especially the mama.

    LegoLady8 17h ago • Wow. Happy you got answers and that your neighbor is willing to help out. (Although, why isn't their dog fixed? ) Keep us updated! You've got this! And don't forget the &$!#% Google review. People rely heavily on those. Make sure your title is in all caps to get attention.

    Angus-Black • 17h ago Chocolate F... Top 1% Comme... Well, that's a new one for me. A Vet that doesn't understand spaying but does know about billing. They would have been smart to refund you as it's very obvious you didn't get what you paid for.

    • Awkward-Tangelo3377 6d ago • They are so cute! I would be demanding a refund from that vet. Did your dog go into heat after she was supposedly spayed?

    Itchy-Word3546 OP. 6d ago • They're getting bigger! Everyone gained 2-4 ounces since yesterday! I asked the neighbor for a DNA sample from their male dogs, as the white pup is my only clue and their dogs were in my yard around October. Bonnie was fixed in August, but we found out in November she was pregnant from an emergency vet visit. Yes, I did find a new vet after the news.

    I understand Shelters are full, that's where I got my other 2 lovely ladies from. This was 100% accidental, and was in my attempt preventable. The 2 solo photos of the pups are the runts. We are keeping them seperated until they double in weight so they can be healthy and grow.

    The only white one is also photographed so if you feel like it's more great dane or dalmation let me know There is 8 girls and 4 boys! They have their first vet visit on the 20th! As for Bonnie, she was my trash pup I found.

    Izarrax 6d ago • I hope that you will be able to finance 12 pups or will be able to get them into a foster home! As for the vet, please also post a review under Google or something to make it known that they actually didn't spay your doggo! Good luck with going to small claims and the pups ♥
