Staffy pregnant?????

[luke2702]

Hi,

As some of you my have read i re homed lilly our staffy last weekend, but today my mum and dad came over to see her and said she looks pregnant. Is there any signs i need to look for?

Her teats have become very large in length

She keeps going under our bed and does not want to come out.

When we try and give her a stroke around her stomach area she trys to bite us not nastyly.

Also she is very tired.

I am planning on taken her to the vets tommorow to have her checked out but have read that you can not tell if a dog is prenant until they are approximately 6 weeks old.

Any advice would help..

Thanks

She could be having a phantom pregnancy

Where did you get her from? a persons home? If so why did they want to rehome her? Maybe you could ring them and ask if she showed any signs of this with them and find out when her last season was.

From her pic that you posted she doesnt look preggers at all, but I would say she does need to see a vet asap.

Thought so just hope it is a phantom pregancy. Any advice about both would be much appreciated.

Thanks

She was from a dogs homes as a stray, so dont think i have any come back. On the pic i posted i agree she does not look pregnant but over the last week she has put on weight which could just be because she is now eating well and getting good walks. I am takin her to the vets tomorrow.

if she was from a dogs home surely she would have been spayed?
