Answer #1

If you are worried you should have taken the precautions to make sure she didn’t get pregnant. SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS PEOPLE!

Answer #2

get off the freaking internet and TAKE IT TO THE VET.

Answer #3

how big was the male she tied with? I work at a vet hospital and will answer anything I can for you. I have 4# chihuahua who had a litter from a 6# chihuhua, her first litter she had 3 pups on her own. Second litter she had 1 pup and we did a c-section on her, The best thing to do is to save money and have a good vet in place. when she is about 56 days into gestation have a x-ray done the doctor will mesure the pups and the pelvic area and see if she can pass them. if not you will need money to pay for a c-section, so to answer this honestly, There is always a chance you can loose a dog during pregnancy or labor if something goes wrong. Also is there any reason other then her being the runt that she is so tiny? Usually “teacup” the runt of a litter will have some health issues and should not be breed to pass on any bad genes
