Uh oh...I'm afraid Gracie is pregnant! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I would ask your Vet,they would know what to do.
Also you might want to post in the Breeding section,
as I'm sure they have the answers to your questions.
I don't really know anything about Breeding, I wish I could help
you.
Princess acted the same way, a little over a year ago.
I knew she wasn't pregant, that I knew for a fact, but she
sure did act like it. She even took her toys and was moving
them around as if they were her puppies. I had no idea what
was going on. Our Vet said she wanted to be a mommy, so she
had a false pregnancy. She was fine, but I don't think I want
her doing that again.

Good Luck to you, & please keep us posted.

I dont think that is totally true I tried on my pomeranian and it didnt work at all. I just had to wat until she was like 45 days from when I thought it may have happened and then we got x-rays done and she was PG even thought the test said no

Omg Poor little Gracie.

The thought of puppies make me smile.. they are just so darn cute! But if she is too small, poor baby.

But from the threads I read, she is probably just in heat. Let's hope thats the case and she will be back to normal in no time!

I agree with you.. I know when tasha came in heat for the second time she had all signs of being pregnant but there was no way she could of been cause she was in a house full of females. But she actually gained weight ect..ect..

hi, I really don't think your gracie is pregnant i've never heard of a male being mature enough at that age to breed. my experience is that the male has to be over a year or close to year to breed, just wished my little boy could have breed my females a few months ago. now that he's 15 mos old he bothers them but they are not in heat now!!

londonteatime · 03-21-2006, 06:30 PM

My bulldog gets chunky and has big boobies after every heat. Logically, I know she's not pregnant but it still freaks me out every time!

I sure hope Gracie's not pregnant -- best of luck at the vet!!!!

Most males aren't mature enough at that age but there are exceptions..I have heard of males be ready at that age. But it's not the rule..

Gracie'sMommy · 03-22-2006, 09:58 AM

OK so now I'm thinking I was all paranoid yesterday! When I got home last night, she didn't look as "pregnant" as she did in the morning, and I gave her the once over last night, palpating her tummy and looking at her nipples and stuff and I don't really see anything unusual. She's not bleeding either and her hoohoo doesn't look swollen or red or anything.

Still, I have the vet appointment tomorrow and I will schedule her and Griffin for their prospective surgeries then!

Thanks for everyone's input yesterday!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

OH Yea

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

YorkieRose · 03-22-2006, 11:07 AM

I doubt it is possible...if Gracie looks pregnant that would mean she wa a tleast 5 weeks along...that would make your male around 4 months old when he sired the litter, not possible...Plus, you never saw her in season...LOL
You are wise to alter them both and not worry again.

Hoohoo!!! That is soooo funny!!!

SnowWa · 03-23-2006, 01:58 AM

When I got one of my cats spayed - lo and behold (unknown to any of us), she had five little kittens in her. This surprised the vet also - because she was so little - of course, she wasn't very far along and was thin and didn't appear pregnant at all.

If my Yorkie were as small as yours, I wouldn't let her carry the pups. I just couldn't do it and wouldn't take the chance - especially since the male is larger than she is. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her.

BUT - let's keep our fingers crossed and hope she not pregnant in the first place. This could well be the case......
