Hello All,
I spent all night into the morning researching symptoms of pregnancy. Lulu is 8 months old. She weighs 10 pounds. I adopted her from a family last month when she was 7 months old. The family also had a small male puppy that they adopted out before I adopted Lulu. All of the symptoms that the internet provides about pregnancy is good yet vague.
According to Lulu's previous parents she hasn't had a period. Her vagina seems swollen to me but I'm not completely sure if that is it's normal size or not. She is licking down there. Her nipples are out, in which there are maybe 7 or 8 but they aren't red or look sore. They are the same color as her belly but as stated they are erect. She seems to be urinating a lot more and sleeping lol. I thought she may be sleeping because she is bored or just tired. She has been attached since day 1 of me getting her. She tore my blinds up from looking out of the window when I walk outside. She has gotten better with that.
Any helpful advice is appreciated. Lulu is my first yorkie as well as my first time ever experiencing this.
I could be paranoid but it just seems like her stomach is fat.
Could she be pregnant or are these symptoms more related to possibly having her first heat? My boy dog (not a yorkie) doesn't seem interested (he is neutored anyway). I don't feel like I need to keep them away from each other so that there is no accidental litter because they don't seem to be interested. They act like brother and sister.
Please Help. i am willing to answer any questions you may have. Thank You
Sheka
