That's kind of what I was thinking.

If you were aware that she tied and that the possibillity that she is preggers exsists, then these are answers you should have started researching 5 weeks ago. (Or better yet, before she was bred.) Sorry, but I can't with a clear conscience answer the question without first pointing out how incredibly irresponsible this is.

At this point, it's going to be hard to judge for certain if she is or isn't. There could be physical changes that would indicate that she is carrying a litter, but those same changes could just as easily be the result of a false pregnancy. Your best bet is going to be to assume that she is and treat her as such. When she is further along (around 50 days) you need to take her to the vet for xrays/sonar to confirm that she is expecting and to give you and your vet a good heads up if the pups look like they may be too large to deliver, which will mean a c-section.
