Carol it is now 10:47am on Wednesday May 9th. She did the deed with the Black Lab at approx 1:00pm Tuesday, so as I write this it has been less than 24 hours.
I'd start calling other vets, too, since I have seen on two sites that the morning-after pill has a 72-hour (max) window.

Absolutely there is a morning after injection. Keep calling vets until you find one who is not a jerk. After this is all over you might want to consider changing to a vet who does as you ask rather than feigning stupidity to get what he wants.
Please let us know what happens.

I guess I have to join the "cold hearted" club. I completely agree with both of you. I want to add this to the conversation, not only is the bitch very young, but she's small, too (45 lbs). The possible sire is a 100 pound lab. That might make for some huge pups for such a slender girl. I would get rid of the litter before birth if at all possible without harming my female, and without spaying, if that's what I want. You never know, if this is her first heat she may not be pregnant to start with, or she may reabsorb the fetuses. I'd do some calling until I found a vet that would consider alternatives.
Spay the female or have the injection or whelp the litter and find them homes.
To allow a female, no matter what her age, to carry and deliver a litter and then put them all to sleep is NOT an acceptable alternative in my book. Just the emotional trauma the bitch would go through alone is reason enough to rule that out.

Cindy,
While I see your point and agree somewhat, wouldn't it be safe or "okay" to euthanize all but one or two in order for the bitch to rear a pup or two rather than have 12 (possible) Mal/Lab crosses to find homes for?
I guess my line of thinking was/is, that since it is an unwanted litter, trying to find homes for them would be difficult and with that type of cross, many would maybe not know what they are getting into??
I would lean more towards the injection than having a litter of pups that I was not sure I could find homes for.
I am just trying to broaden my way of thinking here.
Thanks
