I've bred my bull terrier, something I've done plenty of times in the past with other dogs, but this is my first experience doubting/having trouble with the pregnancy. I have full intentions of taking her to the vet when he is back in town, but for the moment i'm on my own... I don't trust her with any other vet in my area.
She is due approximately in 1-2 weeks, her mammary glands are full and she is discharging milk. Though, her belly isn't as big as I would like to be seeing. She's normally about 35 lbs and is small for her breed. Her stud is about 45 lbs. of the same breed. In past experiences i've been able to feel puppies moving around, and during an earlier exam the technician did feel the start of the growing fetuses.. plain as day. I don't feel anything in her, moving or not.. Though I feel something high up near her ribs.. Is it possible that by her laying on her stomach, she's pushed them up too high? Or is it more likely i'm looking at false pregnancy?
