Answer 1

well first off there are no pregnacy test for dogs, best way to determine is getting abdominal xray to see how any she will have its important to know that so if she is you will know how many to expect need to consider her size and possible father to assure she can have them with out complications, even though the vet is expensive she needs alot of care before hand and after and so will pups , vaccines, dewormings etc, would have cost you less if you would have spayed her long ago !! there are many low cost spay/neuter clinics . if your going to own a pet then need to care for them properly. more then likely she is if she went into heat and was left un supervised. they typically carry them 60-63 days if she is starting to gain weight then you will know she needs to be eating good diet like 1/2 puppy food helps with better milk production

Answer 2

She will growl very deeply, at a low pitch at almost anything that she feels in the slightest way threatened by, she will avoid contact with every dog, especially males. She may have a short temper with her owner's, being you. If this is her first time, she may whine a lot, she will be confused at the changes happening to her, and will also be defensive over her food, and sleeping area. She probably will not bark a lot, but whenever strangers are near, WATCH OUT! Normally a pregnant dog won't take any crap off anyone, even when they just want to pet her. Just give the lady some room, and let her figure out what is going on. She'll love you for it, and it's better for her.

Answer 3

3 concepts: a million) X-rays (~$40 8) 2) Blood being pregnant try (~$40 8) 3) Ultrasound (~$250) convey her to the vet for an outstanding exam and between the three above. it's going to be important to have a Vet exhibit screen her progression, see what number doggies she is wearing, and furnish you with considered necessary information on nutrition for mom (she might want to be on doggy nutrition- needs the more advantageous protein). solid success!

Answer 4

Take her to a vet and they will give her a preg test or you can just wait and watch her weight. Dogs only carry there pups for about 60 days so after about amonth from when you breed her you should be able to feel the puppies inside of her

Im a junior vet as well as a breeder...and we find this most cost affective and more or less correct always

Answer 6

Take her to the vet, try a pregnancy test, or just wait. If she is pregnant she will blow up. Did she get some while she was in heat (on her monthly)? If so, then probably so.

By scheduling an OVH with your vet and after the surgery, they will tell you if she was pregnant.
