Okay, so I'm pretty sure Diva is pregnant(at least I thought I was pretty sure). If she is, she would be about 5 weeks as of this weekend. She tied on 8-18 & 8-19 4 times(total), was very accepting and definitely in heat. The 1st couple of weeks after, she vomited, lost her appetite & was lazy. She has since gained back her appetite & seems to be okay. I have noticed her nipples a little swollen and tummy firmer. So I take her in today to have a wellness exam and check. Well, the Dr. 1st starts right below her rib cage and immediately proceeds to tell me she feels them....then she listens for her heartbeat, then she continues to go lower towards her private parts and says she feels something again
. She asks me if she went to the bathroom b4 she came in and I said yes....she's thinking she may be feeling her bladder and states if it is her bladder, it's a nice size bladder(whatever that means)
. Anyway, she doesn't make a definite conclusion because I guess she's "unsure". Of course we could do an ultrasound but that's like $350-400 so I say, uh-no thanks...I'll wait. Xraying is a less expensive but we cannot do that until the puppies spines would have developed. So she wants us back in 2 weeks to check again!! Does this sound normal? Why would she immediately say she feels them then as she proceeds, thinks she's feeling a bladder even though she's in a total different area of Diva's abdomen??? I'm confused and would be disappointed if she's not pregnant but I'm still left wondering whether she is or not. At 5 weeks, shouldn't she be able to tell for sure if she palpated? Also, Diva was supposed to be getting her rabies shots today but we are waiting to confirm first. Is is safe to have her rabies shots if she's pregnant?
Sorry so long. Thanks for reading. I figured I'd ask the yorkie experts!!!!
