When was the last time you had your girl to the vet? You absolutely need vetrinary help with this. This can be very dangerous especially for small breeds.

YES..... if my Chihuahua is pregnant then it would an accidental breeding, for I have 4 dogs: 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Lasha and 1 Pitbull (and) I always keep them away from each other when the two girls are in heat (in 11 yrs we have never had any pups) - but I do know that last time my female Chihuahua was in heat my older son forgot and placed her in the crate with the male Chihuahua... this is where she usually sleeps for the night.

I am asking how one can tell that a small breed is pregnant for I just recently took my Pitbull to the vet for her yearly check-up and it cost me $175.00 - therefore - I will have to wait until next pay day in 2 weeks before I can take the Chihuahua to the vet to have the vet check her.

Reasons I believe she might be pregnant..... last Sunday when we were giving our dogs their weekly baths we noticed that the female Chihuahua was fatter in the stomach area than she usually is and she has continued to grow.

So, now with that INFO can someone tell me if it true that dogs put on most of their pregnancy weight during the last week or two of their pregnancy? And, if there is any discharge that takes place prior to whelping?

Thanks....
