When can a vet tell if a dog is pregnant?? Actually the question is, If a female dog is pregnant about 7 to 8 weeks, during a regular check up, can a vet usually tell?? or at least notice?? |
If the female is carrying more than one pup... yes... the vet should be able to tell at the 7 to 8 week time period. :) |
i would not take her in to ck if she is preg or not. you should be able to tell from day 45-50. sometimes if it is a small litter, it is very hard to tell. |
ohhh i see you stated during a reg ck up. yes, if she is just going in for the ck up, i would think they should be able to tell |
Thank you for your answers one of our friend, had a female yorkie and she had no idea that she was pregnant, she took her dog to the vet twice last week, she took the dog in for check up and for shots, the dog has been gaining alot of weight within 2 months, so she was concerned and ask the vet to also do a check up on the dog. the first time, all the vet said was to cut the dog's food, and then she took her dog in again after 3 days because her dog was vomitting, and the doctor gave the dog 2 shots and sent her home. 2 days later, her dog gave birth to 3 pre-mature puppies and none of them made it. My friend called the vet, and the vet said since my friend didn't tell her that her dog was pregnent, the vet wouldn't have known. |
I would think it depends on the size of the dog, or breed also. She had 3 premature... so they were small. If he palpated her abdomen he would have been able to feel them. It may have taken some good feeling around since the owner didn't know. He may not have been very thorough, of course it was a general check up, he didn't know to look specifically for that, he probably just missed it. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, I hate that this happened to your friend it's heartbreaking. |
When my Davie was pregnant with 1, we could never tell she was pregnant....but Lexie is pregnant with her 3rd litter and is on day 38 and we could tell over a week ago that she was pregnant. It jus really depends on the number of litters and how many the bitch is carrying to be able to tell if she is pregnant. Hope all goes well.:aimeeyork |
