| Prego-Puppy Holly, around 4 yrs old, HELP! Well, she has been very tired, Very affectionate (like usual), her nipples have swelled up, has been avoiding my other dogs, small appetite, and has been "Wobbling" not walking. So im pretty sure she's pregnant. since her nipples are VERY swollen I am afraid to get an X-ray because i read that if she is too close to conceiting the x ray can burn the puppies. I am going out to buy her a heating pad and bigger doggy bed for her birth. We mated her with my couin's maltese "Weezy" march 15th-16th, when should she be due and what should i do to prepare?!? |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Congrats on your upcoming litter. Yes, do go to the website YorkieShadow suggested; it is my favorite as it has information on just about every aspect of breeding, whelping, & weaning. Many yorkie owners have their pregnant dogs xrayed prior to whelping, usually done one week before their due date. Xrays give the vets & owners a good indication of how many pups to expect and to their size in comparison to the females pelvic area. This is good information to know to be better prepared in case of a needed C-section.

| I think you should find A WHOLE lot more out about all of this before you bred your dog. You need to read, read, read at this point, get her on puppy food to start and find out the weight/size difference between the male and the female, that could cause some problems. The sites given are a good start but I believe you should have educated yourself before breeding these two. After you read a lot about whelping and pregnancy, then you will need to learn all about labor and get all the supplies necessary for whelping together. You should get an x-ray because it gives you something to go on when expecting your first litter.
