Is my dog pregnant? She was bred 54 days ago and has symptoms.

Your dog is at the end of her pregnancy, and that can cause her to be more tired than usual. It's good that she is eating, and I would be more concerned about her being tired if she wasn't eating. This is normal to be tired, but continue to watch her. If she reaches 69 days of pregnancy with no sign of puppies, take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Yes, it’s likely she is pregnant. Dogs can show no symptoms or some can be uncomfortable. The gestation period is 63 days. She should gain weight and get some mammary development. You can have an ultrasound done to confirm the pregnancy, or about a week before the due date an X-ray can show the number of pups.

Basically at this stage you should see weight gain, increased appetite and her nipples should begin to get larger at this point. if you do not see any of those it is very likely that she is not pregnant.

56 days is a bit early, but it is possible she could be in labor, or closer to her due date than thought. Signs of labor can include visible contractions, changes in body temperature, lack of appetite, and waxing of the nipples (producing a milk substance). I would keep an eye on her, and if she doesn't have any puppies within a few hours of signs of labor, or she seems in great distress/is extremely exhausted take her into your vet ASAP for care to make sure there isn't a stuck puppy or other illness or complication causing her early symptoms.

Normally, the "due date" for a pregnant dog is anywhere from 57-63 days after mating. If your girl is 59 days pregnant, she is within this range so she may be getting ready to go into labor - pregnant females will often refuse food for the last day or so before having their puppies, and may also act restless or clingy. You can take her temperature with a rectal thermometer if you are comfortable doing this - if it's lower than 99 degrees, chances are good that she will be going into labor within the next 24 hours.

Hello! This general article about pregnancy may help: https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/pregnancy/ Trixie is starting to enter the second half of her pregnancy, so you may start to see more significant weight gain, an increase in appetite (as the puppies are rapidly growing) and the starting of development of her mammary glands. Now is a good time in the pregnancy to have a checkup done at your vet to ensure mom and babies are doing well and start mom on a puppy food to increase the amount of nutrition she is getting to feed the puppies during development and lactation Your vet may recommend an ultrasound to see them and count them. As she nears the end of her pregnancy, around 60-65 days, you'll want to have an X-ray taken to count number of babies (if you don't know by then) to know how many to expect, and make sure a whelping box is ready for her to use when she goes into labor.

At 51 days you still have a week of anticipation. Gestation in dogs is 56 to 68, in rarest cases 70 days. The average is 63 to 65 days, which means most dogs will whelp between 63 and 65 days. Do keep your appointment with the vet as you may want some x-rays done to know how many puppies your dog will have. This will take a lot of worrying away as you know when whelping is done. Do not rely on temperatures, it works in some dogs and does not in others.
