Wow, this is scary. I can't believe a vet would say it is o.k. to breed a 9 month old, 3# Yorkie on her first heat cycle. Personally, I never breed anything under 5 lbs.; it is just too risky on the little ones. At 9 months she is still developing and the problem is their bones are still soft and she might have problems dilating at that young of an age. You also have to worry about a ruptured uterus. How soon would she be due? Can you tell for sure if she is pregnant. Your male is awful young so it is possible he was not fertile yet. I always count 61 days from the 1st breeding then start watching very closely. They can go anywhere from 59 days to 69 days, depending on which breeding took. If they whelp before 58 days the pups have a hard time making it. I will pray that all turns out well. Please take are advise to heart and don't take it personal. What's done is done and you need to focus one the health and well being of your baby. If she is indeed pregnant, I would get her x-rayed around 57 days but I am not sure. I hope some of the other on here that breed tinies can give you better advise.
