determining pregnancy

Question
We believe our female Bulldog may be pregnant-she has been in season twice now and we did not think she was due again until December-also no signs of bleeding . But in the last week her teats have become very engorged and suspended. Our male bulldog of course is with her all the time. Are there pregnancy kits available or should we take her to our vet now? Thanks Janet

Answer
If you didn't see these two actually tie, chances are he didn't breed her on his own. It could very well be a false pregnancy.

However, you should be able to have an ultra sound done to determine what's in there, if anything.  I would take her in just to be on the safe side.
