Hi,
My little girl Molly is 2 yrs old and last month had her third heat. I decided to breed her after tons of research. She weighs 5.2 pounds and the Sire weighs a whooping 4 pounds. On day 7 of her heat she started showing signs of interest by moving her tail aside. The Stud came over and they showed real interest. He mounted Molly and got into her but did not tie. He was on her for approximately 1 minute from start to finish. They did this a couple more times then I separated them. I continued this for four days, days 8,9,10, and 11. I'm not sure if she is pregnant. I called my vet on 10/29/ 08 and he said that I would not be able to tell for 2 - 3 more weeks. The 10/29 was day 21 after her last mating with the stud.
I'm not sure what I should be looking for pertaining to signs of pregnancy. I read on a website that dams can have morning sickness, but unsure if that is true. I will say that Molly vomited every morning for a week after mating. But nothing since. She does appear to be slightly heavier then she was but not much. Also when I turn her on her back and rub her belly I can feel small fluttering movements but not sure if this is puppy movement or if it is her normal bowel activity. How far along into her pregnancy can the vet xray and tell if she is carrying or not? If she is pregnant what signs should I see at this point. She does seem to sleep alot mre and seems less active. Today 11/8/08 is day 31 since her late mating with Harley.
Please help,
totally confused...
