| Day 62 and I am really on the fence here! Need input... Hi all! Well, after months of lurking, I finally registered because I really need to post and get some input here. I am posting this in the breeders section also, but hoped I could get more input by posting here too--hope that is allowed. This is regarding our 20 month old, four pound female who we bred to a 2.5 lb. male beginning on November 20. Our little cutie pie is on day 62 at the earliest. We got several ties over about about a week or slightly less, so this would be day 62 IF she took on the first tie. They were all pretty short ties, at one minute or less, so I am worried that could be a factor. At any rate, after three or four weeks we did notice that she had bulked up. She weighs four pounds and is a teeny little thing with very little "meat" on her. I can always feel her hip bones, which worries me, but the vet said she is just fine. She started to get a pooch to her tummy, but it really never developed into a big pregnant looking stomach. We did not get an X-ray. Well, I had sort of given up, but holding her today I realized I cannot feel her hip bones at all anymore...she does still have the slight pooch to her tummy, but I was also able to express the tiniest bit of milk from both bottom nipples. I am currently a breastfeeding mother, so this is something very familiar to me!!! :-) Hope that isn't TMI. At any rate, I was surprised about the milk. Both bottom-most nipples also have kind of a little white dot on top anytime I look. What are your experiences? I am wondering if I should be running out and buying a heating pad and all that. Don't want to be unprepared, but if you were a stranger just taking a look, you would not think she was pregnant. This is our first experience with a small dog. We bred larger dogs back in our younger days! Thanks, Bridget |

| I think you would find worlds of advice in the breeder section. They are very knowledgeable . My yorkie is a product of a 4lb girl and a 2.5 male as well . According to my vet she'll be 2-2.5 lbs Good luck hope all your babies are healthy. |

| My girl was 7 lbs when she got pregnant and I didn't know for sure she was until 2 weeks before delivery. I thought she was, but couldn't tell. Most likely if your girls pregnant you definately should be able to feel pups moving by now, but she's really small so probably would only have one or two at the most. My girl also had the white dots on her nipples and expressed milk.. so, she sounds pregnant to me and theres lots of things you need before delivery which should happen literally any day now.. |
