Dog pregnancy - how to tell if she is pregnant
Maggie (1.5yo female dachshund) went into heat on September 22, 03 She bleed for 1 week that we noticed. My mothers mini-dachshund came over from October 2 - October 5 and they were in a tie several times throughout the weekend. We checked Maggie for any signs of bleeding but she had none. We know that she was in heat as she was swollen down there and bleeding and she let Travis tie with her. We are wondering if with no signs of blood, and being in a tie can she be pregnant. She is sleepy a lot and she wants to be held and loved a lot too. Both of those things are new to her. She had puppies when she was 8 months old and after nursing her nipples got smaller but were still bigger then normal so we can not tell if they are getting bigger or not. She went to the vet on October 20 but she could not feel any puppies. She said it may just be to early tho. So I guess what I am asking is this: If Maggie was not bleeing (that we could see NO red blood this week) Could have Travis gotten her pregnant? If the vet didn't feel anything at 18 days a long, could there still be puppies and just not big enough to be felt? |

I know this sounds like a weird question but will Starburst candy hurt a bassett hound? She's a 1yo female neutered Bassett.
