Pregnant?

20 11:38:59

Question
Lily tied (we think) with Oliver the weekend of Jan. 14.  She is eating almost twice as much as she used to and teying to steal the meat off plates (which she has NEVER done).  She gets these energy spurts and brings out her baby toys and carries them around.  She seems to be getting bigger and her teats are firmer.  I am taking her into the vet tomorrow but do you think she might be pregnant?  She will be 2 this week.

Answer
Lorraine,

All of the symptoms you described say that she is pregnant.  You should go to my website www.petremembrances.com/Yorkie%20Advise.html and download the word document you will find there.  It will detail all you need to know about what is coming and how to handle difficult situations should they arise.  She is plenty old enough to be having puppies and the only concern I would have would be if Oliver was larger than her.  If that is the case you may have complications during birth and will need to be prepared for that possibility.

Good Luck to you and congratulations on becoming a grandma!
