| I Need Your Help!!!!! O.k. I really need some input here! I have not been here for quite some time but I have two yorkies. I have a male that was fixed when he was about 5 months old. He is 14 months old now and I have a female that will be 1 in sept. Well Bella had her first heat about a month ago and I made sure she was kept away from male dogs with the exception of Jack who "got together" with her a few times. I didn't think much about it until Bellas breasts tummy started swelling and she started acting really strange. Well, I took her to the vet today and they say she is pregnant! The vet said there is no way Jack could have gotten her pregnant but she hasn't been with any other dogs. Does anyone have any ideas??????? Thanks in advance,

| That's odd! Are they SURE that it's a real pregnancy. There's something called "false pregnancy" where the female will get all the symptoms of pregnancy but no babies. If she's truly pregnant, I'd be looking up the vet that "fixed" Jack

| When you say, "got together", do you mean they got stuck??

| I took her to the vet today and they did a sonogram and he saw 2 or 3 "spots" in her uterus. Yes, they were actually stuck together. I just can't figure it out because I don't see any testicles on Jack. Could the spots be something else in her uterus? We are going to do another sonogram in two weeks.

| I guess time will tell. False pregnancies are quite common, and if you are sure that no other male got near her then I would guess it is a false one. |

| I believe if they are neutered before they reach their sexual maturity, they will not even try to breed, but if they are past that point when they are neutered, they can "tie" (is the correct term) but nothing will happen because they have no testicles to produce the sperm.. |

| See, I thought they couldn't get "stuck" if they were fixed either. I'm just a little nervous since the vet says he's almost 100 % sure she is pregnant and she is only 4 lbs.

| Well, if the vet is almost sure she's pregnant, I'd be hunting down the vet who neutered your male and take him in, along with the puppies and say "ok explain this!"

| That is strange. You should be able to tell if he is neutered or not. Take a look down below.

| This is going to sound strange here, If there is still one testicle that was not remove it might happen. if this testicle is up inside him. The reason I know this is because we had a mare (horse) that became pregrant by a gleding and we thought no way, well she drop a baby. |
