Need Advice on possibly pregnant Yorkie!!!

[Floydoliver]

Update on Sassy... The Vet did xray on her no pupppies so that some good news but she is starting to get bigger in the stomach and if she was pregnant by the dates I was told she would be 7 and half weeks and I think she would be way bigger but anyway When I introduced her to my dogs they all got along great and for a week never an issue well I needed to run upstairs and thought they will be find together for a couple min went up stair grabbed some laundry and as I was headed out my room I heard a scuffle and a "YEP" so when I got back down there she had killed my maltese just that quick. I am so devasted with this she is such a sweet dog and they play together really good. I dont know why she would do that, but anyway I think she grabbed her and shooked her so hard it broke her neck she is now 11lbs and my maltese was 4lbs and I should not have left them together Im really not sure what Im going to do because when I adopt a dog u adopt them for life and this just threw me for a major loop.

Wow since you got her, she has gained 7lbs? That is a lot given your Vet said she has about a 7 lb frame.

So given that weight gain are you sure she isn't pregnant?

In terms of the killing of your Maltese, well I'm so sorry; but this was a rescue girl, and I suppose anything can happen until you have a very good idea over months and even years of time, it is better to crate when you can't be there in person to supervise.

We getting an xray Monday morning to find out for sure, and your exactly right I kick myself in the butt, if only I put her up or just picked my maltese up and took her with me she will still be here. I trusted her to soon and this is the consequences and being irresponsible for just a few minutes. My heart aches everytime I go in my living room where my maltese was laying so sad but thanks everyone for your support and concerns

Yea I weighed her yesterday and took picture of her belly. Her belly not getting big, so thats why I don't think she is pregnant but I weighed her myself so could be one a pound or so. But here are some pic's I took of her belly yesterday if they will download if not and you want to see them to see if you think she is preggo then just give me an email address and Ill send them to you. Again Thanks for the support and advice..

I dont have any idea what a pregnant yorkie looks like, so beats me. Didn't you say she had an x-ray?

[Floydoliver]

Yeap we had one but no puppies showed up so we going again for another just to be sure.

I am very sorry to hear about your maltese, but how did she gain 7 pounds in less than two weeks? Something is not right here.

Thanks but I free feed her kibble and also once a day I feed her a little rice and chicken. My vet said it was ok so I started doing it once I got her but she was smaller than 7lbs when I got her, My vet said she has an 7lb frame. I weighed her and my scale was off a pound or 2 but Ill know for sure in the morning when I take her to the vet Im pretty sure he will weigh her.

I am confused here, you went to a vet and the vet did an xray and couldn't tell if she was pregnant?
What other dogs do you have in the house? other pets?

Are you going to the same vet?

Me too. I think if she was gaining really fast, about a pound a week is really good. I don't think I'd be able to gain 7 lbs on a two week cruise! Hopefully just her scale is off and she'll be able to tell us when she gets back from the vet.

I'm really confused as well...OP said an x-ray was done and no puppies...I'm sure thats what I read. If there are no puppies how did she gain sooo much weight in such a short time and (not sure here) why are her nipples distended??

Yes I am going to the same vet, Its only one vet in my town and he is a really good vet, but yes she has had 2 xray's and neither one showed any puppies, but this week would be her 8th week so I wanted to do another one to be sure and no puppies. Why do you need to know how many pets in my household, I don't breed and did not breed her, can't no dog in my house breed and every last one of my dogs have a story behind them.

I think there are more concerns in addition to breeding. Your Maltese was killed and that is NOT good!!!! It seems as if the story has changed several times and it is very confusing.

RIP little Maltese!!

Yes I went back to the vet today she has gained 5lbs in 3 weeks, my vet did another xray and it didn't show any puppies so we are pretty sure she is not pregnant which was my concern and what I wanted advice on, not her weight I know how to take care of animals. This is something I been doing all my life and one day hoping to open my on rescue. Thanks to everyone for the advice and support.
