 Questions for Breeders:
My girl Lexie was exibiting pregnancy signs during the first 4 weeks but not so much now. I am not sure if she was having a false pregnancy or perhaps 1-2 big/small babies and carrying high. Her nipples are still very swollen and there is a lump in her tummy but she is not huge swollen. She has no huge belly but she is not a tiny yorkie either. My vet was so sure she was pregnant when he checked her out before but he wants to wait instead of having me do x-rays because they are so costly here. (Especially if there is a chance she isn't) He said there is no real need since she should have no problems with delivering a baby/s because of her size so he is not concerned and that would only be needed to confirm size and pregnancy and the same could be done by waiting.
Well my question is can you feel babies by week 7? I was feeling where the lump is on her tummy (though very lightly when I rubbed her tummy...as she wants me to do so much because her nipples stay swollen) and it feels like something was moving and possibly kicking and I wanted to know if I was wrong or if that was possible??? Can you feel babies that early? It fely like 1. 1 little lump there. She felt it too and reacted...it seems to drive her nuts. The little lump might be 1 or 2...I'm not sure or it might be fatty nothing because this is all new to me but I just wanted to ask because I feel her tummy every night and these lumps were not like this before. I know I sound like I am babbeling but I don't know who else to ask and you guys have raised babies before so I appreciate any help here. If she is pregnant she would be due January 13-16 I think.
Another weird thing is my boy Romeo is going weird every time he sees Lexie...He is seperated from her but if she even enters the same room he goes gaga as if she is in heat and starts humping the side of the crate (Literally) or anything he can wanting to get to her...He is going crazy...what can I do? He seems confused and seems to think she is in heat (which she has not been in since November). I just don't get his attitude here! He is crazy! It is worrying me because he wil not stop this at all...I am worried about letting him around any of my girls because of this behavior. How do I stop it? I took him out to potty one time and he tried to break through the door to get to Lexie...I tell you she is not even remotely close to being in heat since she was in heat when she got tied in November which is why she might be pregnant now. I am just a teeny bit stressed...lol. I think it will be easier if I can just figure out how do deal with this...
