It's not uncommon for some dogs to show fewer physical signs of pregnancy at around 60 days, but monitoring for other signs and consulting with a vet can help ensure your dog's health.
- Absence of a noticeable belly can occur, especially with smaller litters.
- Lack of other signs such as increased appetite or behavioural changes.
- Vet check-ups can confirm pregnancy and rule out complications.
- Diagnostic tools such as ultrasound can help determine the health and presence of puppies.
While some dogs may not exhibit all the typical signs of pregnancy, it's crucial to ensure that your dog is indeed pregnant and that the pregnancy is progressing normally. Small litters or other factors might contribute to less visible changes. Consulting with your veterinarian will provide you with peace of mind and ensure that your dog and her puppies are healthy.
