need help I recently found a female yorkie wandering around my yard. I have had her about a week now and no one has claimed her even though I have put ads on Craigslist and filed a found report at the local shelter, also I put flyers up in the neighborhood. I fear she is a throw away dog. The problem is this,the shelter thinks she may be pregnant and I have no idea how to tell or what to watch for. Any advice? |
Get her to the vet a.s.a.p...if you should find the owners I'm sure they will reimburse you..hopefully; has she been checked for a microchip? What makes you believe she is a throwaway and not lost? What are her behaviors? Also, welcome to YT!! |
Take her to the vet and explain what happened. |
No microchip checked that first. She is 5 lbs very clingy she won't stay off of me has to be with me constantly. She wouldn't eat for the first 2 days then she would only eat from my hand today she is eating but off a paper plate won't eat from a bowl. She has a front thumb? That is disconnected the pad seems to be separated from the paw. I have no idea how old she is or what may have gotten her pregnant. It's been over a week and can't find her owner. It is heartbreaking that such a sweetheart isn't being looked for |
Also her tummy is poochy and her nipples are huge |
Please for the sake of her little life get her to a vet quickly. If she was bred by a large dog she could die delivering :(. |
3 Attachment(s) she has an appt for monday she also has a wierd bald spot and scar on her back |
AHHH, she's adorable. I hope the vet can answer your questions... |
I'm far from an expert but it sure looks like she's pregnant. I agree, she needs to see a vet. She looks like she's in good shape. Did you groom her or did she look like that when you found her? |
She looks pregnant and it may be already getting closed to 2 weeks to delivery.... If not near. Glad to hear you have an appointment. She looks adorable and I am sure she found her way to a great responsible human... Who knows, something's are meant to be and she may be a gift for you ! Please read the posts here about delivery and just take it slow and get ready. It will be fine. You are responsible and that is all the difference she needed at this moment. Follow vets advice and enjoy the blessings. I am sure there will be plenty of YTalkers to help , pray and cheer all the way. Blessings. Xoxo |
Please get her microchipped scanned on Monday and see if the vet can trim down her nails they are severely over grown. Remember to take a fecal sample with to the vet for testing. How far from the CA boarder are you? We have a vet tech here who takes in and fosters pregnant strays she prefers to foster small breeds...she does it through Companion Animal Foundation, she's actually my groomer. |

She certainly looks very pregnant, if you are not familiar with whelping you might want to ask your vet if you can bring her in for delivery, just to be safe,she is a real cutie.. I use to have a little girl that would pull her hair out, but only if she didn't get free run of the house, and it looked similar to the pic you posted..talk about a spoiled little hussy she was :D |
Thanks so much for the advice I will update as soon as we get some news |
By the way what should I be feeding her I have seen many posts about a scrambled egg, I just have her eating dog food |
She looks very well groomed...did you do that? What part of Oregon are you in (north, south..)? |
