I have a fenced yard can males still get in the yard? What are the early stages that she may be going through?

I have another dog. She is mine and the other one is my roommates. I do get my dog shots and had her spayed. So ya got me wrong. We found this one on the side of the road and felt sorry for it.

I really have to agree with the other replies.
Would you have a child and then say that you can't ever go to the doctor because you can't afford one? If so, please DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN!
A pet is like a child - it relies on you for food, shelter, warmth, security and love. It is fully dependent on you. To not have $$ for routine care is not acceptable. A vet visit to determine if your dog is pregnant won't cost much.
If it turns out your dog is not pregnant, do more than just be happy. PLEASE get your dog spayed. If the vet charges too much, as local animal shelters or your humane societies. Some even have special events where they are done for free!! Spaying your pet will not only prevent unwanted pregnancies, but decrease her risk of cancer and other illnesses later in life.
If your dog is pregnant, you might be able to get an abortion. But if you go through with the pups, please give them away (puppies are easy to adopt from animal shelters) and then have your dog spayed. Because a determined male dog will get into a yard (dogs can climb fences).

First, a male dog will do ANYTHING do get to a female in heat! They will easily jump or climb over a fence or dig under it! If you have a female in heat she should be kept indoors or in a secure kennel (and even that won't work 100%, because they WILL mate through chainlink!) and only allowed outside under constant supervision (i.e. on a leash!).
PLEASE find the money to get your dog spayed immediately. Check around for spay/neuter clinics, call your local shelter for help, check prices at different veterinarians. Get a job, get a second job, sell some CD's, whatever it takes.
You are 100% responsible to take care of your pets. If you are not willing to provide the very basic care (annual vaccinations and vet checkups, SPAY/NEUTER, high-quality food, etc.) then sorry, but you should NOT own an animal! Especially a dog or cat. Maybe a small animal that is cheaper and easier to care for. You certainly can't afford to take care of a pregnant female and her litter if you can't afford to have her spayed.
If you can't afford the vet, you can't afford the pet!

once you permit her out, did you pass together with her? Did you maintain her on a lead? If not, she's in all probability been mated. And sure, she's in all probability going to have puppies. Your best subject (aside from an undesirable muddle) is how vast is your b itch - if she replace into caught by skill of a dogs who replace into drastically extra advantageous than she is, she would die interior the whelping of her puppies. Sorry to be brutal, whether that's a actuality. while you're in receipt of advantages, the PDSA will manage your b itch for a minimum value. Get her seen by skill of a vet! lots as i'm not many times in favour of scanning, under the situations, you do could locate out if she's donning puppies, so get her scanned. you would be saving her existence. And at this ingredient, i'd recommend she's spayed, no remember if in whelp or not (and that i don't oftentimes propose that the two lol).

If you can't afford a vet than you have some major problems. First off, you should have gotten your pet fixed. If you can't afford to take care of it, how are you feeding her? Maybe you should reconsidered having a pet at all. As far as the early stages of pregnancy in dogs, try any search engine. Dummy.

I know it can be hard to pay for vet bills at times,but when the puppy's come,they will need shots, check ups, ext. You may want to start considering your options!Don't let all the "reconsider having a pet" people get to you to much.Just realize that you will need the money to take care of the pups, maybe find Mommy's "good owners" who will bottle feed them and give them good homes!.And when money loosens up some, get your doggie fixed!Good luck-i hope this helps!

Sorry, but why are you asking this now if you have been leaving a pregnancy up to chance. If you had had her spayed, you would KNOW she wasn't pregnant.

Did you expect people to care that you can't afford a vet? You shouldn't have a pet that you can't afford to tend to. Maybe a pet rock would be more suitable for you.

Depends on if they jumped the fence or if they dug under it.
If you cant afford the vet, you shouldn't own a pet. End of story.
