Well, was she in heat during thanksgiving and did you breed her with another dog? After being in heat whether they are pregnant or not they will exhibit what you are describing. You can either take her to the vet to make sure or wait a few more weeks. Gestation is about 60 days. How little is your dog? Toy breeds need to be watched carefully and should never be bred if they are too small; there is alot to consider when breeding a dog.

Your puppy?? How old is this dog? What dogs was she around? If she's younger than 2 years and/or may have been around large dogs, you need to see a vet and have her spayed. Not afterwards, now. She could die trying to give birth too young or to large pups from a bad mixing of breeds. You never, EVER leave a female in heat alone!!! She should have been spayed before she ever hit her first heat, anyway!
She does sound pregnant, you need to get her to a vet. Add 2-4 more dogs to the tally in animal shelters that are dying right now.

I can't truely tell you if she is pregnate or not because I can't see her. But normal signs would be obviously first and foremost her belly getting larger, you can also tell if not only her nipples get bigger but when dogs are pregnate you can feel milk around them and usually if you squeez you will be able to get some out. Eating a lot is another sign. Some dogs will vomit, but not a ton so that might be a medical problem. My only thing is that if you breed her last month you should be at that point where you can obviously tell theres something in that little tummy. If you gently feel her belly and shes pregnant, you should be able to feel little "lumps." The only way to be truely sure is to take her to the vet and have them x-ray her for puppies.

You could try giving her a pregnacy test. The ones made for humans are supposed to work for dogs too.
Hope this helps....
Also dogs are usually only pregnant for around 2 months. So if she is preggers she might be having her pups soon .

if shes preggers, then listen. On the night of the birth, NO C SECTION. Only natural birth. build a 6x6 box w/ a door that opens, closes, and locks. along the perimeter (inside) about 4 inches above the ground, nail/glue 4 inch wide boards, so when the babies are born, you can let the mother clean them, then take the pups, have a very damp towel, dont hold with bare hands,(warm) and RUB.place them under th boards so the mom doesnt step on or roll over on them. Lay about 5 layers of blankets or towels every where. when shes done giving birth, let her sniff and nurse them.

yes these are all normal symptoms of dog pregnancy
over the next weeks, if she seems to be getting fatter- well then you know she will probably have puppies

You are barely literate. There is little hope for the dog. If it was in heat...did you leave it alone so it could get bred????????
