Is My Dog Pregnant?

[waterlocke22]

My bitch had a season around two months ago and although she always wore pants and my male was kept away during this time there is one time they could have possibly mated just after she came out of season. The last week she has been in her bed constantly and tonight while playing with my male she normally joins in she just sat in her bed crying as if she feels agitated, she's crying a little bit aswell but other than that i can't see any obvious signs that she is pregnant, i'm worried she could go into labour tonight if she is as she is acting very strange.. any advice!!

Take her to the vet to find out. She could be having a phantom pregnancy.

you've got an entire male and you keep an entire bitch as well? what were you thinking?

[Purple_Popple]

I would guess she is having a pseudopregnancy. But of course please get her checked properly at a vets, we cant give you a diagnosis.

Woofgang i asked for advice not rudeness, many people have an entire male and female and if you'd like to know the full story before you make judgement i rescued her as a friend was going to give her to the rspca if he couldn't find a home as he was having housing issues, the day after she came to me she came into season so i had no choice but i took all precautions i possibly could at the time i.e taking my male out of the house and having her wear doggy pants. Please don't waste my time with nasty comments like i said i asked for 'advice' not criticism. She will be going to the vets first thing in the morning i just wanted to put my mind at ease for this evening. Thankyou for other comments from people who actually listened to my question

If there are absolutely no signs of pregnancy (pseudo or real) such as swollen abdomen and especially nipple and teat changes it could be a sign of something completely different that is causing pain or discomfort. Good luck at the vets tomorrow and let us all know how you get on.

If she's pregnant I'm sure you'd notice a difference in her appearance, eg: nipples would be enlarged if she's due to whelp, and she would surely have gained weight, go see your vet tomorrow, sure she'll be fine, could be a phantom pregnancy as others have suggested..........hope all goes well......

Hope the wee doggy is ok xxx

Hey everyone, Sasha has gone to the vets this morning and is going through a phantom pregnancy, hopefully she will be feeling better soon as she is very distressed today. She will be spayed as soon as she is back to normal.

It is nice to hear that she is okay and you are not about to face to arrival of little paws. The poor wee girl is probably very confused about it all.

I hope that she feels better soon.
