QuestionI saw my yorkie Kandee & her boyfriend Bobbles tied on September 12. Now she's getting fat, her nipples is very pink & she's very aggressive with food & the other dogs in the house. I need to know if Kandee is pregnant approximately when will she be due.
Thank You,
Neil
AnswerNeil,
The gestation period for puppies is nine weeks. That would put the puppies due sometime around November 7th. Besides the signs you mentioned her pee pee would also be very large if she is pregnant. They usually swell to about 4 or 5 times their original size.
You did not say how big Kandee and Bobbles are. The reason I mention this is because if she is getting fat already she may be going to have a large litter (many pups) or she may be going to have large puppies. If she is a small Yorkie and she is going to have large puppies there is a chance of complications via a c-section. You will need to consult with your vet ahead of time to make sure that if you need him at 5:00 a.m. on a Sunday he will meet you at the office. Letting a female labor to long with large puppies can lead to death of both the mother and her puppies.
Sincerely,
Melinda
