... So you have found out that your dog is pregnant? Now, you are
worried what you have to do and what you need to prepare. This post will tell
you everything you need to know to deal with your dog pregnancy …
Preparing for the Birth
Start planning ahead
right away to find the date that the pups' arrival is due. Remember
that not all dogs are the same, so this will be different depending on the
breed and characteristics of your dog.
The average time it takes for a
dog to make puppies is 63 days from the time of mating. Once you have
calculated this, you will be able to tell when she will give birth and
make all of your plans from there.
Dogs can
sometimes have pups 5 days before or after the date expected, but if it gets
any longer than 5 days after contact a vet.
If your
dog has had a scan and it says she is pregnant but she does not look it may be
she has absorbed the puppies after the scan. Dogs can sometimes absorb puppies
when they are sad or depressed. It could also be that the scan in wrong as it
is not 100% accurate all the time, for instance some people thought that their
dog would have only 3 puppies when they have close to 11! It can be very
confusing especially if you thought they were pregnant in the first place, but
scans are not as accurate as they seem. You can also have an X-ray done at a
skilled vet center but again these can be not that accurate.
