Answer 1

This is a cute site where Chewie, a pub answers very serious questions. I've provided the link below.

Chewie- I fear my 8 month old pug may be pregnant. I read your thing on the 7 month old pug, but the vet here is terribly expensive. :( What signs can I look for? -
A: early detection is only through ultrasound at the vet, which can be pricey. You won't be able to "feel" pups until about 25 days after conception, and even then it is hard for a non-professional to tell. about 30-35 days, it will be obvious. No matter what you do, you won't be albe to confirm a pregnancy until a month has passed. The biggest worry with a pug is that she will need a c-section--common even when the dogs aren't too young. Even if you can't take your dog to the vet now, if she appears to be pregnant after a 6 weeks, contact a vet and try to arrange to have the puppies at the vet. Speak to them about the costs now and see what is the cheapest. Also, try searching local area forums for someone kind to help you. You will get a lot of grief for breeding a pug so young,and people will say mean things, but you might find someone who can steer you towards a cheap vet. Make sure you keep your girl healthy just in case she may be pregnant. good luck and keep me updates *snort*

Answer 2

She's still a puppy herself, so keep her on puppy food for the extra calories and protein. Make sure she is seen by a vet, as since she is young, you don't want her to have any problems. They can do a health check now to make sure all is going well, and probably tell you how many puppies to expect. At least the daddy dog is a small breed also, so that will help a great deal. If she had been bred with a lab or such, she could actually be in danger trying to deliver such a large pup. After these babies are weaned and gone, get her spayed so this does not happen again.

Answer 3

Though not every condition requires you pack up and run to the vet, I suggest you either call or do some reasearch. This is just so you can educate yourself with dog pregnancy and the like.

First thing's first.....Pug's have larger heads so the majority require c-sections. Or so they say. Now, I rescue and help deliver large breed dogs so that's what I know best but dogs have been having puppies all by themselves for hundreds of years.

If she is 20 to 30 days expect her to be pregnant roughly 30 to 40 more days. Change her food to a HIGH QUALITY puppy food. Science Diet (cause I know this recomendation is coming) is one of the WORSE foods you can feed a dog. It's a bag of crap, save your money. Find something where meat is the number one ingredient (for some reason, I'm finding lamb easier to find than anything else).

Answer 4

Start feeding her a good quality puppy food, now. She needs the extra protein and calcium for the puppies and continue to feed it to her until she weans the pups. She will have the puppies about 60 to 63 days after she was bred. Nine months is a little young, but she should do okay. With her being a pug, she could have problems having them so contact your vet about what you should do if a puppy gets hung up. Ask what your vet does about c-sections, also. Good luck

Answer 5

Consult a vet NOW. Dogs are pregnant 58-63 days. Pugs are one of the large-headed breeds that frequently require c-sections, so be prepared for this possiblity. And a dog getting pregnant on her first heat is like a twelve year old girl having a baby - she is not mature enough, physically or emotionally. You may have to tube & bottle feed her pups. Why did you not have her spayed at 6 months? Please have her spayed immediately when these pups are weaned. There are too many pets in this world being put to death in shelters as it is.

Answer 6

Here I got these of the internet hope it helps.

WHAT SHOULD I FEED HER?

During the first 4 weeks, normal amounts of a good quality commercial dog food is sufficient. By the 5th week, more food can be offered- up to 50% more by the last few weeks and into whelping. She will usually tend to eat small amounts frequently. After birthing, her food intake will be the greatest, and it is best to feed the mom a good quality puppy food to increase the amount of protein and calcium in her diet to keep up with milk production.

About the 4th week into lactation, the quantity of food can be tapered until she is back to normal amounts by the week after weaning (usually when the puppies are 6 weeks of age), and she can gradually be changed back to her adult food. A vitamin supplement (Pet Tabs or Pet Tabs Plus) can be added to her feeding regime, but calcium supplements should be avoided during gestation in most dogs. However, these should be considered for small breed dogs since they can have a calcium deficiency in the latter stages of pregnancy and during lactation.

i couldnt find anything on exercise sry

Answer 7

First see the vet about an ultrasound to confirm if she is infact pregnant. Then you need to consider what to do if she is. Are you ready finatually for any emerency that may come up when she is due? Are you ready to care for the puppies if Mom doesn't or if you loose the 9 month old? They can spay her now even if pregnant, is slightly risky due to the blood flow even if she is not pregnant.

Answer 8

my female pug just had puppies in april, her first litter. an emergency c-section was required. first puppy out got stuck. prepare for that possibility. the c-section cost 1286.00! she was healthy and while pregnant i fed regular dry food and added a few scoops of canned puppy food, pedigree brand, to give her the extra calories she needed. the puppies all came out healthy and fat. a few days before birth, i dewormed her so the puppies would not get worms from nursing as is common in newborn puppies. it worked, they all tested negative including the mom. good luck and congrats! that mix is going to be adorable! you ever seen a "shug"? LOL!

Answer 9

OMG you people telling her to kill her puppies, just take a hike!!! Of course you should take her to a vet to get examined, and he/she can tell you more about prenatal care. You should make sure the pug is getting a high quality feed, and moderate excercise, just like in people. =)

Answer 10

do not call those puppies junk, mutt or mongrals they are mixed breeds and you are very rude for calling them that....not to mention wild dogs have puppies on their first heat every day and it doesnt hurt them so why murder the puppies....as for what to feed her she needs a dog food for puppies like pedigree, its main ingrediant is meat but does have some vegies too....dont worry she will be fine....she knows what to do and will do it when the time comes....
