How do I tell if my female Yorkie is pregnant?

20 11:37:56

Question
I recently bred my female yorkie to another male yorkie. She's about 4 he's about 1.  I had the male in my house for four days before they actually did the deed, however lately my female now is acting very strangely... panting alot... her teets are swollen and her belly seems like it's huge. It's only been a little over a week, I guess almost two weeks since they bred. How do I tell for sure she's pregant besides taking her to the vet?

Answer
Allison,

If it has only been two weeks the only noticeable change you should have seen was her pee pee being swollen.  She should not be panting a lot and her teats and belly should not be swollen.  It is possible that there is something wrong so I would suggest you give your vet a call and see what he thinks.
