Yes I am going to get the puppy food this afternoon. It might have been a week after I saw the first blood when I figured out it was her. Like I said I wasn't expecting her to go into heat before April. As soon as I knew it was her I started putting diapers and onesies on her and wraps on him and didn't leave them alone if I could help it and then I put her in xpen. As often as I could I took Caesar with me if I went somewhere. Could she have been in heat before I saw the blood?
When a female comes in heat she usually bleeds for 7 to 9 days. The female will be receptive to the male usually from the 9th through the 18th day, after the bleeding has stopped, that is when they are most likely to conceive. They should have been kept separated for 3 weeks from the first time you saw blood. Your female is pretty small so that would be my biggest concern since she is so young. If the vet can do a blood test to confirm her pregnancy then you might want to do that. You would not want to x-ray her until she gets further along.
