my boxers mated

Question
Hi i currently took on a 9yr oldboxer female and one day when i came home found her and my younger male stuck together.  She hadnt had a seaon while bein with us so didnt know she was in heat!!  I foundthem stuck together on the 29th january but dont know whether they had done it before this date.  Her belly dont seem know different but she seems fuller round her rib cage, shes leaking watery fluid from her nipples and my male seems to sniff aot around back end.  Do u think she is nearly due for her pups as she has gone off all food and isnt interested in playing likeshe normally does many thank....

Answer
Hi Zoe

Gestation is 62 days.  So if she came into heat the week of the 29th she would be due the end of March beginning of April.

I would recommend taking her in for x-rays.  She could be in false heat and/or have a infection, which would explain the males interest.

Regardless, at 9, I would talk to your vet on having this female spayed if for nothing else but her health.

Good luck
