7 week pregnant yorkie i have a 7 year old yorkie and she is 7 weeks pregnant,at the moment she seems to have gone off her food but is still drinking her water, but then she sometimes brings a little back up, is this normal as we have never had experience of pregnant dogs, we had a scan and she is expecting 3 pups , any advice would be most appreciated,thank you:) |
I would repost in the Breeder section. many experienced breeders there to help you. Breeder Talk - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community |
7 years old is WAY too old for a female to be bred, especially for the first time! :( My biggest suggestion at this time, would be to find an experienced breeder to serve as your mentor and help you out. No amount of answers you get here are going to substitute for a well trained eye of someone experience. Given her age and your inexperience, this is a VERY high risk situation. I would suggest having another 'scan' done at around 50-55 days so that you and your vet can get a better estimate of how big the pups look. It will be better to have some advanced warning if they are going to be to big for her to free whelp. Her appetite will change from time to time, but she should always be eating a fair amount with the exception of maybe the day of/right before whelp. Whether or not it is "normal" is really difficult to say as it differs from dog to dog. |
