My Lhasa...

Question
I have Zoey, a Lhasa apso.. She's just over 2 yrs old and hasn't had any bleeding,
so I thought she never went into heat, how ever, a normally active dog has
become increasingly more LAZY! Reading about pregnant dogs and signs of a
pregnant dog has me a little bit flustered... How do I know??

Answer
Hi Ashley

Did you mate her? Does she live with an intact male?  Have you ever seen a male mount her?

A false pregnancy has the same signs and symptoms as a true one.  A female can go through a pseudo pregnancy after she has been in heat.

Smaller dogs tend to keep themselves cleaner so it's harder to tell if they are bleeding.
