BOXER SHOULD BE DUE SOON

Question
I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD BOXER WHO SHOULD HAVE PUPPIES AROUND THE 21ST OF THIS MONTH. THIS WILL BE HER FIRST LITTER. SO FAR SHE HAS NOT PUT ON ANY WEIGHT IN HER BELLY, BUT HER RIBS LOOK TO HAVE SPREAD OUT MORE. I HAVE NOT FELT ANY MOVEMENT THAT I COULD SAY FOR SURE IS A PUPPY. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE THIN SIDE BUT MY VET SAYS SHE IS AT A GOOD WEIGHT AND IS VERY HEALTHY. LATELY SHE HAS BECOME A VERY PICKY EATER. IS THEIR ANY CHANCE THAT SHE COULD STILL BE PREGNANT?

Answer
Hi Brandi

There's always "a chance".  However, if you want to know for certain the approximate number of pups expected, I would do x-rays.  She may only have one or two pups or be experiencing a false pregnancy, so for your peace of mind, it's never a bad idea.
