My Chihuahua might be entering her 5th week of pregnancy...

I was wandering if her nipples should start growing, her stomach is a little larger than normal- she has been weighing between 7.5 and 8.0 lbs. since Friday! She was 7.5 pounds 1/26. I want to know if she’s pregnant, BEFORE I take her to the vet on 2/4. She mated with my granddad’s dog on 12/27…I THINK she was in heat, or she went into heat shortly after mating…The sperm could still survive for like 2 weeks, right?!?! PLEASE give me your opinions! THANKS!!!

Answer #10

first I will post some pictures of my chihuahua, before pregnacy and during, Keep in mind she had them 1-5-08, then I will add advice

Answer #11

the question is did they “tie” get stuck together for a some time? If they did not get stuck the her chances are very low. The pictures I posted are about 50 days into gestatioin. If your female is pregnant then she would be about 30 days into gestation, so she is about 1/2 way, I would say in the next 10-15 days you should notice and be able to tell that she is expecting, Their is really no way of knowing if she is pregnant without a vet, other then the symptons you could see by the eye. The vet could do Ultra-sound on 2-4. How ever they can not do an x-ray until futher along because the babies need to devlope there skeletons. They can do this around 58-62 days into gestation. If there is anything else I can do let me know.

Answer #12

so did they tie? She may be pregnant, only you would be able to tell if she is looking different, Is she acting different? Eating more, Nesting more, (digging in blankets) more cuddling with you? so what is the vet going to do next month?

Answer #13

Yeah she sleeps more…She always likes to be near us. I dont know if they tied or not (she snuck out) and she always seems to throw herself at Sam, my granddad’s dog, I just got in from school and my mom says this was what she looked like basically ALL day, she goes outside to do her business though (pic) She goes through eating spells (she will eat a lot one day and not eat much the next. Sweet Pea isn’t nesting yet. The highest weight she had was 8.0 lbs (estimated) since like Saturday or Friday she has been weighing like 7.5… Sweet Pea usually is very playful but now she is sleepy. I’d say her vulva was medium sized. It seems like she could be pregnant… But I did not see them during intercourse she has just been showing the signs of pregnancy, from what I’ve looked up. Here’s a photo of her from today:
