if you want to know if it is pregnant take it to the vet and get a scan done. also they can palpate it at 2-3 weeks to see if it is pregnant.. lots of tests can be done by the vet to see if they are pregnant..

Answer 2

The most surefire way to determine your doggy's "condition" is to take her to a vet!
If you can't afford that, you will be playing the waiting game. Like humans, you may notice symptoms that point toward her pregnancy, but do not definitely indicate it. Many dogs experience morning sickness, sleep more, and eventually, eat, drink, and urinate more often.
Near the end of her pregnancy, a dog will often have pinker, swollen nipples as her body prepares to feed the puppies.
A typical dog pregnancy lasts from 58-63 days, and if she is expecting several pups, she will definitely "show" near the end.

Answer 3

the only two ways to know for sure is at 4-5 weeks after her heat have a sonogram dne to see if she is pregnant or just wait 60-65 days to see if she delivers.
You may notice her getting bigger,her nipples might get bigger, her attitude may change but these are also signs of phantom pregnancy

Answer 4

I'm having the same problem and everyone keeps telling me to wait. Oh, tell the other people that answered this that you are TRYING to mate your dogs. Some people don't understand that some of us are trying to get them pregnant. When you get your answer, plz let me know...

Answer 5

Pregnancy

General information

Fertilization occurs in the oviduct. The embryo enters the uterus as a morula day 8 to 12, and implantation occurs day 17 to 18.

Gestation length = 62 to 64 days from ovulation. Due to variability in the time of ovulation compared to time of standing behavior in the female and the long time sperm are viable in the female reproductive tract, gestation length from a single breeding can range from 58 (bred late) to 71 days (bred early).

Pregnancy diagnosis -

* Palpation - Abdominal palpation should be performed from 28 to 35 days after ovulation. Accuracy is poor in a tense or obese animal.

* Radiography - Less than 42 days from ovulation you can visualize an enlarged uterus but cannot differentiate pregnancy from uterine disease. You can first see calcification days 42 to 45 from ovulation (variable number of days from breeding). Late in gestation, radiography is the best predictor of fetal number, and can be used to estimate fetal age and to assess for fetal death.

Signs of fetal death include gas within or around fetus, collapse of the axial skeleton, overlap of cranial bones and/or failure of skeleton to calcify or fetus to grow; lack of signs of fetal death does not imply viability.

* Ultrasound - Fetal vesicles are first visible routinely day 24 to 28, and fetal heartbeats are easily visible after day 30. Fetal heart rate and movement can be used to assess fetal viability.

Answer 6

If you don't know the answer to this question, why are you breeding your poor dog? The video says it all but seeing how ignorant you are you will most likely breed her anyhow.

Stop being so irresponsible and contributing to the overpopulation of dogs. Get your animals fixed for God's sake.

The biggest reason for death in healthy animals is euthanasia.

Answer 7

tassiequartz- you rock!
Nothing else compares to this answer, it says it all... I could have let this person have it and been rude and crude about this subject, but ignorance is so rampant and your youtube message says it all.
Get a clue bud. Emphasis on the picture of the garbage cans full of bodies.

Answer 8

go to the vet and see for sure.

Answer 9

get ready to hear it.
