Hello there! It sounds like you might currently be navigating the sometimes-surprising world of puppy parenthood. If your dog had unintended access to an unspayed or intact male, there is a possibility of pregnancy. In dogs, pregnancy typically lasts about 63 days.
You might notice early signs such as slight weight gain, increased appetite, or mild behavioral changes. Her abdomen could gradually become more pronounced, and her nipples might enlarge as her body prepares for nursing. These could hint at brewing puppies.
While waiting it out can be tempting, it's beneficial to consult a vet early on to confirm a pregnancy and ensure your dog's health remains on track. Your vet can perform an ultrasound or palpation around 25-30 days after mating to confirm the pregnancy.
If you decide not to have the puppies or are concerned about your dog's health, discussing options like spaying might be crucial.
Watch for signs of discomfort, lack of appetite, and lethargy, or if she's straining but not producing puppies, as these could indicate complications needing immediate attention.
Keeping a close eye and nurturing her with love and care is important. It would be a great idea to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can walk you through specific care plans tailored for your dog's situation!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
