Pregnant Yorkie 5 Attachment(s) Has anyone had expierience with a pregnant dog. My yorkie is pregnant by a maltese. How do I know when she is going to give birth. I heard you can feel the puppy's moving at 8 weeks. I feel some movement in her belly so I think the pups are coming soon. Also do yorkie's get a big belly when pregnant? My yorkie's belly hasn't gotten as big as I thought it would. She was a skinny dog to begin with. Most yorkie's I've seen are like that but still healthy. She stays in her kennel sleeping most of the time. She's become quite lazy. Which is one of the side effects of being pregnant. Dogs can become quiet, lazy ,or affectionate during pregnancy. If anyone has some advice please let me know. Thanks alot!!!! PS I posted some pics of yorkie/maltese mixes. Very Cute :) |
Welcome to our little community! I'm sorry I don't have any experience breeding at all, but quite a few members here have. I just wanted to mention how cute those mixes are! :) |
Hi LovelyYorkie i just had a litter of pup's they will be 6 weeks old tommorrow. I knew the day my dogs "tied" so i could guess pretty close to when she was going to have them dogs are pregnate for 60-65 if i remember correctly. My Jasmine only gained 1 pound and she had 3 babies you couldnt even tell she was going to have babies. i'm not a breeder tho this was an accident i have since had my male fixed. (both yorkies) and my female will be fixed soon also. There is a breeder here Kindness_001 hopefully she will pop in with more advice. by the way cute pictures. |
Welcome to YT, LovelyYorkie. Hope you enjoy it here! Your babies are gorgeous! In the words of Prissy in Gone With the Wind ... "I don't no nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies"!! :eek: But there are those on our forum who certainly do!! :cool: Ladies and Gentlemen?!?? :D |
ohhh those mixes are the cutes! I wants one XD |
Toto's Mom, that quote from Gone With The Wind just cracked me up. I recently just watched this movie so the visual in my mind is perfectly clear, ha ha. I unfortunately don't know a thing either about pregnant Yorkies or such either. However what beautiful pic's!!! |
I was told the best way to know when a dog is close to birthing is when their temperature begins to drop from the normal 101 degrees. Usually 99 or 98 degrees. :) They also begin to nest shortly before they deliver. |
The pregnant bitch's teats will swell during the last few days, preparing her to nurse her pups. My dogs always became restless during the last 12 hours, before whelping, but I had big dogs. Not sure how small dogs do! :confused: The mixes are DARLING and I am a big fan of outcrosses since I have a Dachshund/Poodle outcross, and I've never had a smarter, healthier dog. Welcome to YorkieTalk! It will be fun to see pictures of your pups! :) |
birth Hi Can you recall when you bred your female? It takes 9 weeks..they can give birth from 57 to 65 as a rule, but most go 61/63 days. I had a litter born at 56 days, but that is not the norm. Is it possible for you to get her vet checked. Your vet can xray and tell how many pups. It is always best to have a vet check when you have a pregnant dam. she should be eating puppy food for the extra calories and calcuim..do not give her a calcuim suppliment before birthing. Give her a bit of cottage cheese each day. As a rule right before whelping they stop eating, some vomit, nest by digging the bedding, temp drops. The milk usually come abotu 5 days before..all are different though. Make sure she has a bed with heat. I place a heating pad under the bed, not in it. Please let us know how it all turns out..best of luck to you and your mommy dog. |
Thank heavens! Pat is the Voice of Experience here! :D |
Yup that is all right and they are all different with the milk part and teats swelling. Just the other day I was around a chihuahua for 4 days before she gave birth and she didnt produce milk nor did her teats swell until the first pup was born. The only way I knew she was REALLY close was with the nesting, panting, restlessness and her temperature dropped to 98 degrees. She got false contractions the day before which were not as strong as the REAL thing, I read that it is when the pups are getting in their places. I had purchased a book on breeding which I didn't let go during the birth of the pups. "The Complete Book Of Dog Breeding," By Dan Rice, D.V.M. Excellent book with alot of info. ;) |
pregnancy Good book..also my favorite is Canine Reproduction by Phyllis A. Holst, MS, DVM Bitches are not easy to prodict, but knowing the time they were bred narrows it down. Many people can not tell the difference in a 7 week gestation and one ready to whelp in a day or so. The best thing to do is not leave her alone. Some of mine are so predictable, then out of the blue they will whelp early with little signs of labor...makes it sooo much fun! LOL |
I want an update on the soon to be Mom :D |
Me too!! Like I told Mary Ellen, "I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies"!! But, hat's off to those of you that do! I would be mortified!! :eek: |
I'm new to this site. And I was hoping that some of you that are experienced with Yorkies and pregnancy can help. My yorkie's name is Bell. I mated her on Oct 29th. I brought her to the vet today, because I think she might be pregnant(actually hoping that she is) Bell has been very lazy lately, Not playing, she had a bout with morning sickness where she would throw up bile. Her belly isn't getting any bigger but I thought her teats(nipples) were protruding a little. But when we went to the vet today the vet said that her mamoray glands were not swollen, and that she would need an x-ray. Has anyone had this happen to them and then find out their dog was pregnant?? And does any one know how much this is going to cost me, I of course did not ask! And being around Christmas time I don't need another expensive bill. I would be grateful for any help. Oh by the way if she is pregnant she would deliver around New Years!! :) |
Belle It is wise to have her xrayed. You will be able to see how many pups and that is a big help to know when she is finished whelping. It sounds as if she IS pregnant..has all the signs. Does she have a clear, sticky discharge? That is rarely seen in a non-pregnant bitch. Breeding can be very costly and you can not scrimp on what is needed for your bitch..if your vet sees one oversized pup, you have a heads up that there is a good chance she will need vet assistance to deliver..several smaller pups usually pass with no trouble..although things go wrong for no apparent reason sometimes..it is best to be prepared. Get a box for her..an oversized cat litter pan works well..put a heating pad under the box, not inside..keep it warm. Have the vet check you bitch after whelping to make sure all the pups are passed and her temp is normal..make sure she eats well...give her calcium, daily after she whelps..not before. Good luck |
Aww them mixes are sooo cute. I have a yorkie poo. Good luck with the babys |
Hi, I am new to this site. I have a pregnant yorkie who got locked up with our male. The first lock up that we know of was on OCT 25 meaning she should have the pups around Christmas. Im wanting to know some signs to look for so I know she is going to be whelping soon. Her back nipples are really swollen. They are filling up fast it seems like over night. My yorkie has gained like 3 pounds since she has been pregnant. So im guessing shes going to have a lot of pups or big ones. The male is small so I dont think the size of puppies is why she is gaining so much. Their parents both had like 7 or 8 pups for their first litter. So i dont know, if any one has any advice or anything please say it. Tamara |
7 or 8 pups :eek: isnt the "average" like around 4? |
I think average is like 2 or 3. Cecilia was one of 5 which was a big litter. |
litter I have had litters of 6 and 7 pups from normal size mothers. Most litters are 3 to 4 I find...please read my earlier posting, your bitch will need care afterwards..good diet and suppliments..consult your vet. Best of luck to you. |
Well, Bell is not expecting... She did tie , But I guess it wasn't meant to be. Does anyone know when the right time is to breed during the female cycle?? I always thought that it was right after they stopped bleeding and if the female accepted the male she was at the right stage!! Guess I was wrong! Please post an answer if you have had experience with breeding, Thanks, Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!! |
timing I have had 30 years of breeding experinces with mine and stud services. You sound like you bred her the correct time...I breed about 9 to 12 days for the first breeding after color has cleared and bitch is accepting. If the bitch accepts the male, she is ready, why your girl missed is what happens sometimes. You must have taken her to the vet for an eray which was wise...now you won't wait for pups and worry. I like a 10, 12 and 14 day breeding for a first time bitch..after they are proven I usually breed 12 and 14. I find more miss because they are bred too early as too late. Remember the semen can live viable for up to a week. Was the male proven and producing litters regularly. If you would like to private message me perhaps we can talk, do you have a mentor? |
Hi!! Our baby girl mated on Oct 29, and we are newbies at this... her nipples are larger than usual, and she has been very lazzy. The first weeks she started eating more than usual (we feed her dry food), for the past week she has not been eating a lot. I took her to the vet and he thinks that she is pregnat, will schedule an xray later. He said that she had a little bit of high temperature and gave her some medicine. Yesterday I mixed some moist food with the dry food and she finally eat. From reading earlier posts I'll switch to puppy food and start givinng her cottage cheese 1 X day. Please let me know if there is a site I could check with additional info regading the pregnancy and birth process. Another question... how could we get a mentor? Thanks :D |
Soli 1 Attachment(s) By the way... Here is a picture of Soli... |
I need Help!!! I found out a few weeks ago that my Yorkie became pregnant. More than likely she accidentaly bred with a Dachsaund....meaning that I am going to be having "DORKIES." The main thing that I am worried about is her being able to have them since they might be too big. It was a minature that she breed with, but I am still worried. She also has two hernias in her lower abdomon. She is very close to having them and I am trying to figure out if there is any way to tell when she is going to have them within a 12 hour time period, so that I am prepared. Or do you think that it is best to take her to the vet??? Any information would help. |
I am new to this site as well. But only wanted to tell you my Princess has 2 years old she's 4 pounds and i think she is pregnant too. But my friend has 5 yorkies and when one of her yorkies was pregnant the vet told him not to take x-rays before they are close to birth because it could burn the puppies. I don't know its true or not but I would recommend you not to do it now... wait a little longer I think you'll start to notice because mine is 17 days and I'm noticing her mammary glands are a little swollen and her teats are pointy. I hope it helps... Angie:) Quote:

why did you mix breed on purpose? yes they are cute but there are way too many mixed breeds homeless in shelters rescues and pounds! |
Well this thread was started 2 years ago, The information here is not correct anymore... As my Bell is on her 2nd pregnancy..(in 2 years);) Thanks Anyway.. |
1 Attachment(s) Hey Lovelyorkie, That is too funny, because I have a Yorkie and a Maltese and they got stuck like 4 times different days of course. That was like around Nov 14th, so I think she will deliver around mid January. I swear her belly is fuller and yes she is very very lazy and affectionate right now, and she got sick a few times. I am curious to see the outcome of your babies and mine as well, it will be a nice mix. I am new to this and I really enjoyed all the information posted here. I am attaching a pic of my two babies Oakland(Yorkie) Koona(Maltese) :thumbup: Angele |
