sorry, I didn't see your second post...only responded to the first post.

I would definitely take her to the vet. She is small and could have major problems.....even if the ties were just a few minutes.

Good luck and come back and tell us what the vet said.

Believe me, toy dogs do no thave to look pregnant to be pregnant. I had a papillon bitch with a singleton that never gained even a half pound and looked totally normal. I also had one with a litter of 6 that you could tell was pregnant but I suspected only 1-2 puppies until she was x-rayed.

I would not feel stupid about x-raying a bitch that I knew had mutliple ties during her last heat, even if she weighed less than she did before that!

I have a Mac too and and can post pics so you should be able to also. Did you resize them? That could be the problem. Here's info on the file size. Let me know if you need any help. I export mine from IPhoto and download to my desktop so they are easy to find.

"There is a maximum filesize of 200KB for JPG/JPEG files, and 150KB for GIF files. Any files bigger than those will be rejected as attachments. Most digital camera files will be bigger than the maximum filesizes. The easiest way to resize your photo would be to use a program that can resize your picture, such as Irfanview (which is free and downloadable at the link below). The maximum filesize is to save some space on the forum servers, as well as help out the dial-up users. By uploading pictures as attachments, dial-up Internet users can opt to view the picture if they would like and not be forced to download huge files within a thread."

Wow -- I managed to resize the photos and get them on here. Cool! Anyway, now you can see why we are so doubtful. ?!?!?! I called my vet and hopefully they can work us in this week. I did a due date calendar today for her also and it said she would not be due until Friday if she took on the first tie. So...humph. I am going to call and talk to my vet.

She doesn't have to get big. But she doesn't look pregnant. Those folds in her skin could be caused by milk production. But she doesn't have to be pregnant to have milk. Both my girls produce milk when the other gives birth. Weird I know, but they are close and take care of each others babies.

If she is pregnant, you should be able to feel something. Some movement. I would do like everyone else is saying invest the $100 and have her x-rayed. It will put your mind at ease and if she is pregnant you will be able to see if she can give birth to it/them.

Good luck keep us posted

She doesn't look pregnant at all .

I agree that from those photos, she doesn't look pregnant at all. I would still definitely take her in to the vet, just in case. My vet is only $65 for one x-ray.
