I also had a close listen close to her tummy and it sounds like something is moving in there. My friend says it sound like it when her mother was pregnant. I need an answer and quick! Please answer soon!

ANSWER: Hi. If you're 100% sure that your dog is 10 days overdue, then you need to get her to the vet. Is there anyway possible that she was bred later than you thought?

ANSWER: Hi Sarah. If she's whining, or seems to be in pain, get her to the vet. I would go ahead and take her in anyway for a check up, just to make sure that everything's ok. Please let me know how it goes.

QUESTION: Sarah here, we went to the vet With Lola (my dog). She had a false pregnancy =[. She still has milk so i dont get it!

Thanx for you help!
Sarah.

Answer
Hi Sarah. I'm sorry to hear that. Dogs that experience a false pregnancy usually do get milk. They may even have contractions, and mother stuffed animals and such. This will pass, just watch her milk for signs of infection, red/warm areas on the breasts, discolored milk.
