This is a hard choice and not one I would want to make. I would take her to vet to see for sure. IF she is then you would have two choices. 1. you could let her have the puppies and take a chance on losing the mom. 2. You could have him remove her uterus but that would mean aborting the pups.
And to be honest with you I would have a hard time doing that but their are alot of people that have chosen that. It's up to you of course. So I would suggest discuss all of your options with your vet and decide from there.
If she is 5 weeks along then she is too far along to palpate yet not far enough along to feel puppies moving.
