However, the visit turned out to be anything but routine.
Haley Houghmaster, a Reddit user, shared the unexpected experience involving her newly adopted dog, Salem, from the Happy Tails Canine Rescue shelter in Memphis.
Surprise revelation
During the vet check-up, an x-ray revealed an astonishing surprise: Salem was pregnant. The discovery left Haley both shocked and unprepared, as she had no idea that her new dog was expecting when she brought her home from the shelter.
Faced with a significant decision, Haley was presented with two options: to proceed with the spay, which would terminate the pregnancy, or to allow Salem to have her puppy.
After much consideration, Haley decided to support Salem through the pregnancy and let her deliver the pup.
Pup mum-to-be
Now, Haley is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Salemâs puppy, hoping for a smooth and safe delivery.
This unexpected twist has added a unique chapter to Haleyâs life as a dog owner and brought an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to welcoming a new member of her growing furry family.
