How do I know if my yorkie is pregnant - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was advised to post my question here. Everyone has been so great.

I have never had a pregnant dog before so I don't know that signs. Can anybody help me. She just turned a year old and I didn't think my 6 month old male could get her pregnant but her nipples are no longer flat! Her behavior has changed, her vagina(?) has gone down but is still large. Do I need to worry? Help!

No there is nothing to worry about. If she is she is.
It took my male till he was 10 1/2 months. I know my male was 7 months and he locked with both my Dams. (This was an accident.) None of them got pregnant.

Count the days since they mated. She should show between 5 1/2 - 7 weeks.
If that's the case she should be checked by your Vet. Also a high protein & calcium diet is recommended (Puppy Food) as soon as you think she is pregnant.

My Lily Belle just had 3 pups. They are 8 days old.

Tomorrow I'll post an update with pics.

If your Dam is pregnant, I advise you to do alot of reading.

Check out the threads under Breeders. There is alot of excellent information there.
Also prepare for a C Section and the cost.
Unfortunately Lilly had one last week. I almost lost her 3 pups and her.
So do prepare yourself, I promise you it will help .
Good Luck
