With inbreeding-there is greater risk of pups born with health issues-like in humans.

Could you take her for a spay? I'd take her back to the vet and ask for one. The last thing you need is pups being born with health issues. If you dont feel comfortable with that then you should prepare in advance for possible health problems and heartache. It is risky. If she needs a c-section, those are very costly. Raising a litter is very costly, even when there arent complications (whelping supplies, puppy pads, goats milk, calcium supplements for mom, and the list goes on).

My yorkie felt thick on her side high up between her ribs and her hips. The nipples enlarge and turn pink, vulva will be a little swollen. She'll be lazy and sleep a lot. My vet couldnt palpate puppies at around day 45 but she was able to feel pregnancy fluid in the uterine horns.
