Fifty-three Bonin petrel and twenty-five Tristam’s storm-petrel chicks arrived at their new home at the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge near Kahuku, O’ahu, after a six day boat ride from Tern Island and Midway Atoll, part of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. These chicks will join a cohort of twenty-two Black-footed albatross chicks inside a predator-proof fence, in hopes of founding a new seabird colony.

“These species have never before been translocated to a new home by boat,” said Matt Brown, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Superintendent for Papahānaumokuākea. “Knowing we can move these rare seabirds long distances by sea will enable us to adapt to an ever-changing environment and help prevent the potential loss of a species.”

Call your vet and do the spay. Before day 19 any ‘pups’ aren’t even attached to the uterine wall, pregnancy can’t be detected. Do they spay, do it soon and she will be at no increased risk.
She can still be spayed and aborted later, but these come with increased risks and costs.
Call your vet. Spay her asap, ideally as soon as she’s off heat to be easiest on her.
The ‘pups’ are, at this point, clumps of cells that aren’t really living things any more than a single cell is. Do the spay when the appointment comes up, it’s no different and will be vastly better for her than trying to carry the pups to term. Pugs have enough health issues without trying to carry pups that large.
