| OK! Here it is. This is long. I feel so bad. This happened all because of my ignorance. I wish I was wrong, but I don't think I am. The only excuse I have (and it probably isn't a good one), is that I'm not at all familiar with dogs in heat as I have never bred before. Cookie had been bred 2 weeks before I got her. OK! I got Ciara in October, I thought she was just going out of her first heat, so I didn't expect her to be in heat again before April. Cookie was due to go into heat in February, so when I first saw blood on the potty pad in January, I was suprised, but I thought that Cookie was going into heat a month early. I kept checking under her, but other than blood, I didn't know what I was looking for and never saw anything. Not even blood. I was beginning to think somebody had a UTI or something. Then I noticed blood on my pillow where Ciara had been sleeping. I checked under her and she was the one that was in heat. I don't know how long she had been in heat, I remember that the first day I saw blood was January 9th. As soon as I realized she was in heat, I was very vigilant. I started putting diapers and onesies on her and keeping her confined when I went anywhere or taking Caesar with me so he wouldn't be there to bother her. It must have already been to late, because her belly's getting big. I think she's at least 4 or 5 weeks pregnant. The vet said I could take her in for a blood test and advised that I have her xrayed in another week or two to make sure the puppies aren't going to be to big. |

| She is just over 10 months. I am so unhappy that this happened. I love my babies so much. I was truly going to wait until at least her 2nd heat, which I thought would be in April. I actually thought that since she would only be one year old then that I might even wait until her 3rd heat. |

Yes I am going to get the puppy food this afternoon. It might have been a week after I saw the first blood when I figured out it was her. Like I said I wasn't expecting her to go into heat before April. As soon as I knew it was her I started putting diapers and onesies on her and wraps on him and didn't leave them alone if I could help it and then I put her in xpen. As often as I could I took Caesar with me if I went somewhere. Could she have been in heat before I saw the blood? Last edited by majic50; 02-22-2008 at 01:56 PM. | |

I will take her in for an xray, but I have to wait until I guess she's about 50 days. 50 days is what the vet says. Last edited by majic50; 02-22-2008 at 02:52 PM. | |

| Be sure to give us an update in about a week and let us know how she is looking. If she is pregnant she should still be swollen and she will start having a clear discharge. |

| Will do! Thanks for being so understanding. This is definitely not something I wanted to happen. I'm still praying that it's a false pergnancy! |
