Mariah, if you can't get her spayed and abort, these buppies (yes I spelled that right) are going to have a tough time in life. Bassets have thick enough bones not to be as prone to injury as doxies are but with their weight combined with frailer/thinner bones there is going to be serious long term issues. And that's just going to be one of their problems.
If you can't afford the spay, contact a Basset rescue or doxie rescue ASAP, they should be able to either help steer you to a decent vet that will work something out with you, or help you some other way. Right now owner surrenders aren't taken because we are just TOO full but if you need help try them first. If you can't get in touch with a rescue, let me know, I know quite a few of the foster persons, intake coordinators and am a basset rescuer myself.
And whoever said doxie energy was higher than a basset....... would you like to borrow MY bassets? They'll be far more than glad to prove you wrong, well except for my basset in renal failure.... he'd rather lay on the cats.
