Question
I have a female dog who had puppies early last year we kept one pup a male ! unfortunatly we went away this year on holiday and my friends looked after the dogs.My female dog came in season and her son would not leave her alone,basically they mated she was taken to a vet and had two injections to stop her getting pregnant. The thing is im pretty sure i felt movement in her tummy and im worrid she maybe pregnant could u give me some advise.thank you

Answer
Hi Kirsty, How long ago was she in heat (when she bred with the boy)?  If she is far enough along, you can get an x-ray to see if there are puppies in there.  Also, count how many days its been since they bred.  63 days is how long they carry the pups for.  Hope this helps,

Dawn
