My 9 month old pit mix is in heat. We have been keeping her up and away from male dogs. She got out or was let out of the fence last night (hubby forgot to bring her in). Is there a way to tell if a dog has been "gotten"? She has been spotting/bleeding since Monday. The vet said to keep a close eye on her outside for another week or so. And then we could make our appt to get her fixed. His office is closed for me to call and ask if I can tell if she was "gotten" or not. Thanks

I don't think you can tell just by looking at her she would need a xray or a doctor to feel around and see if she was gotten.

There is no way to know for a while. Generally, dogs are most fertile between 9-13 days after you start to see the bleeding. Maybe she is too early in the heat to have conceived. You can call your vet and schedule an ultrasound to verify pregnancy. If she is pregnant, most vets will terminate the pregnancy when they do a spaying as well. You can ask about that too!
Good luck and get that dog fixed!!

Why does the vet wants to wait.
Friend gave me a dog within the week she was fixed.
He he will not do it. Call another vet that is not so busy.
Get her fix. Because litter are pricey and smelly.

If you are planning to get her spayed soon, then it doesn't matter if she might be pregnant. When the vet opens, call and tell them what happened and ask when you can safely have her spayed so she doesn't have puppies. They'll be able to spay her and make sure she's okay.

There is no way to tell, but if you are getting her fixed soon anyways it doesn't matter. Just make sure you tell the vet that she might have been bred.

As long as you are having her spayed ASAP (which is the responsible thing to do) do not even worry about it. Go ahead with the spay and move on.

Erm that's why you need to either:
A) Get the dog spayed.
B) Own a male.
