When our Zoee was pregnant, she didn't really look how we humans look when we're pregnant. It was very difficult to tell she was pregnant. We event went to the vet and told us that he couldn't tell if she was pregnant twice (He did seem as if he was a recently graduated vet MD and hadn't had so much experience). But it did take about 55-60 days for her to have the little puppies. Once she starts circling and starts looking for a place to "nest" you will know its almost time for the puppies to be born. Swollen nipples are definitely a sign that she is pregnant and going to be giving birth soon. Our zoee weighs about 7 pounds. While pregnant, her weight fluctuated. She gained weight, but then lost it so we weren't sure if she really was pregnant. Once the puppies are born, they are so small! but remember the mom has to feed the puppies her milk for about 2 months |
