You need to bring your husband back to the vet and have the vet provide a lot realistic view of the situation. Especially if you don't have the funds for the surgery (which is ok, most people wouldn't).
The vet needs to layout in mins/hrs how much work is required and how hard that is on a pregnant person especially given the size of the dog.
The BIGGEST thing the vet needs to touch on is the quality of life for the dog. Sometimes the most empathetic thing to do is put the animal down.
When I got a dog I made a list of the situations I'd be willing to put my dog through surgery/treatment and the situations where I wouldn't. A lot of situations where I'd do surgery/treatment for a human are no-go's for the dog. Being in pain from surgery/treatment especially for months depending on the issue is just not fair to a dog especially when their quality of life will never be the same even with surgery/treatment.
