Question
Thank you.I know its normal for her to sleep, but everywhere me or my bf goes she has to be right there like if i lay on the couch she would jump in the spot where i am tryin to lay down,and she seems really moody like i would give her a treat and the cats would try to get and she would growl at them but when her treat is done she will go after the cat not biting but growling ans caseing the cats away is that normal?

Hello, i went away for 3 weeks had my friend watch my jack Russell and i guess she went into heat there and my friend left the 2 dogs for most of the day well she worked and when she came home they were stuck.and i am worried about her and that she wont make it through giving birth cause thats what everyone is telling me. She is starting to look like she is going to have babies, her boobies are popping out and her belly looks like its sorta getting bigger. Is she going to die cause of this or what should i do? She is eating and drinking fine, thanks

Hello, yep sounds pregnant indeed would suprize alot of people that a JRt can mate a lab but my male tryed his heart out before I had both altered...came close to a litter of unwanted puppies. She may be fine as long as you are able to watch and supervise the delveiery as if anything goes wrong you'll want to get her to an emergany vet asap for a c section. But sicne  the dog that bred her is a small dog the puppeis shouldnt be overly large and should come through easily. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Answer
Its been a few years since I've had to deal with a pregnant dog but moodiness seems very normal, have an ultra sound done by your vet as soon as you can and they will tell you for sure if she is and if she is possibly how many babies she is carrying so you cna plan homes for the little devils.
