My dog may be pregnant. How do I tell if she is? She is too young to have pups and I will have to terminate her pregnancy. Can anyone tell me how I can tell without taking her to the vet?

Signs are her getting fatter and lazier, wanting more food and water,and possible urination increase due to squished bladder from the growing uterus. If she was in heat and didn't get pregnant then she may show all the signs, It's called false pregnancy. Go to the vet after about 3-4 weeks after breeding to get a pregnancy test. Something like terminating puppies is not a "do it at home yourself" type of thing and I wouldn't do it without a vet.

In regards o Jesus's reply of March 17, 2004, it clearly show the lack of intelligence in his/her (Jesus) answer.  The "almightly" also has remember that what goes around, comes around.  And any sentiments or actions will come back in 3-folds.  Therefore, Jesus, please think if that's at all possible for you before you answer. IDIOT!!

your dog may be pregnant, or could be having a fantasy pregnancy, my dog had one and got milk, fat, ate more and all the signs but never had pups, now our other dog is pregnant but we have no idea when the pups are due cuz we didn't even notice she was in heat.

Well, your dog being pregnant with "mongrel" pups, shouldnt effect her pedigree, correct? She shouldnt have been allowed to breed unsupervised, or unplanned, but accidents do happen.

If your dog is pregnant, her nipples get larger and she eats more than usual. She will be urinating more due to pressure on the blatter from the growth of the uterus. She will also be very lazey. If these signs a core go to your vet and get a pregnancy test. A dogs pregnancy usually last about 4 months.

There are six small bumps on the lower region of her stomach. (As pictured above)
Does this mean she is pregnant?  She is too small to have puppies.  Does this mean she will die?

If anyone can Instant Message me or reply, I would appreciate that.

I have a female dog who recently went into heat but is not bleeding. Her boobs are getting larger and feel like they are filled with liquids. She is eating a lot more, drinking a lot more, and peeing a lot more. She also wants a lot of attention and seems like she can't ever get comfortable. She is a carrin terrier and we have a  pug she might have breded with. It seems like she is pregnant but we are not sure. Do you think she is pregnant? should we take her to the vets? thank you

I think my maltese may be pregnant.  She has all the symptoms.  I thought we were all being careful with her when she was in heat to make sure she didn't mate with another dog, but we must have missed it.  She is 10 months old. Would she be old enough to care for her puppies yet?  I do not know what type of dog she mated with, do I need to be concerned if it was a large dog of not.

I have an american bulldog that was recently bred twice. I am not sure if there is a way to tell if she is actually pregnant but now it has been 15 days since she was bred the first time and all she has been doing is laying around. She was also eating more but I noticed today and yesterday she has not really eaten much? Is this a sign? or is it too early to tell?

My dog is 2 1/2 years old. she also is acting weird. i think she maybe pregnant. I just don't know what to look for. the vet said that they could take a ultrasound but they don't have one. My dog is sleeping a lot, has dry heaves, eats a lot of grass, is hot then cold, and goes under the coffee table or the end tables. the dog next door shares the same backyard and is not neutered. my dog has not been in heat, but i heard that they don't need to be in heat to get pregnant. it would help me a lot if i could get any answers to my questions. thanks much.

My Yorkie was in heat for the first time about a month ago. Shortly after her breast swelled and is still.  I have a 2 year old mini schnauzer who I thought just didn't get the mating thing.  (I tried mating him with my tft to no avail)  Now I don't know if she is in danger being pregnant so early and with I'm sure will be big pups for her small size. 6-7 lbs  he is 16.  So  could this be?

If your dog is pregnant about two weeks to a month she may have "morning sickness" anytime during the day. Her teets may appear larger than usual. Right after mating if she becomes pregnant her vulva may stay swollen for a week. At about 22-32 days a vet can feel her tummy for pups.

I am wanting some real answers so if you don't know don't respond like the idiot jesus. Here goes. My jack Russell accidentally tied up with my nieces daushen. I poored cold water on them and the broke loose but i was wondering if she could be pregnant. It happened on September 22. I can't tell if she is. Here teets are much bigger but this was the first time she went into heat. So i was thinking that maybe they got bigger because of something close to what we go through like puberty. If any one knows please respond thank you for your time.

Hi, there Diamond in refference to your question if your dog is 42 days into her gestation she should be showing by now, but this also depends how big or small is your dog. small breeds take longer to show some don't show until 6 to 7 weeks into their pregnancy. your best way to check is to pay a visit to your vet.

just becasue your dog has a "pedigree" doesn't mean it's better then a mixed breed. the only thing a pedigree proves is that your dog is a purebred. it's really not that impresive unless the dog has multiple CH in it's pedigree and is up to the breed standard.

Not all dogs get pregnant as I have found out. My dogs are pure Labradors and have had two healthy litters of ten. Mother and father are still great pets. This year the same two who parented the last two litters mated and there is no pregnancy. The due date has come and gone. We also mated the male dog with a new dog and it doesn't seem as though she is pregnant either.
Please anything anyone knows would be a help!

The signs of a pregnant dog can be very obvious.  Her nipples will begin to "drop" early in the pregnancy as her body prepares to nurse the litter.  Towards the end of the pregnancy, it's highly likely the hair around them will start to fall out, making "easier access" for the puppies.  She will also be very lovey....wants to be petted a lot, hang on your feet.  Just always looking for love.  She may eat less and be less active too--in the beginning because her body is taking so much energy and her hormones are so drastically changing and in the end because she is carrying around so much (active) weight and being so "big" the pressure on her stomach won't have her eating quite as much because she thinks she's full.  Her stomach will grow depending on the size of the litter.  A small litter for a large dog, she may just look on the verge of being overweight.  A larger litter she'll appear larger earlier on.  You should expect to see a size change in 2 to 3 weeks for larger litters, at least 4 to 5 for smaller ones.  Again, depending the breed/size of the mother dog.  You can tell when she's ready to deliver the puppies because she will get more wanting to escape.  Even if she's been your baby for years and years and never ran away from you--this is the time she will do it.  She wants to have her puppies somewhere no one can reach them; thinking out for the safety of her babies.  Make her feel warm and comfortable in a crate or box of some sort, away from the rest of the world as much as possible.  Most stray dogs will have their puppies under houses; where it's dark and hidden.

Your dog will increase in its diet. You will need to make sure she has plenty of watter and food. Ask your vet about vitamins and other things you can do for your dog. She needs you now more than ever. But make sure your dog is healthy try to take her for walks, just make sure they are about 10 minutes to 15, not long. Do not let her be in the sun that long and since she is pregnet she can get over heated and you want to be careful about that. Your dog could be suffering from faulse pregnacy.

Yeah your dog is probably pregnant. My dog is due in 17 days and she has been laizy and tired. She isn't really eating all that much like they say so though. Go on a search engine for google and type some stuff in. That's what helped me WITH OUT A VET! I hope I helped. ♥

the best way to tell pregnancy in a dog is to get a pregnancy test from the vet (about 30 dollars).People preg tests dont work on animmals, lol. dont use gods name in vain.

if your dog is pregnant do not bother terminating her pups it will just make things worse for you and your dog. your dog will not die as long as she is older than 6 months. otherwise speak to our vet about it. the vet will give you advice

Tricia,
If your dog gets fatter, if her valva is swollen, she urinates more, eats more, etc. Also, remember that that can also be false pregnancy. You cannot terminate the pup's without the vet. Your dog should be probably at least 2 year's old to have pup's.

I took her to the male and they locked twice, that was 60 days ago. She started to gain weight but now has lost due to not eating very much in the last week. Only a bit bigger in the rib area, producing milk. Pregnant or not? Not able to take her to a vet, just want thoughts.

She will get a lot heavier.She will want more food & water and she will need a lot of attention.She can't go up or down the stairs.And she can't get on the bed because she will jump down and that will cause her to rip a cord inside to the puppies that helps them breathe and get food and nutrients.
