Question
my female yorkie locked with my male about 6 to 7 days ago and doesn't have much of an appitite and shes very quiet and is laying down alot and shes very clingy, she is usually a very very high strung dog.. why is she acting this way could it be pregnancy? and what can i do to cheer her up? and has stopped bleeding now. she bled for like 2 weeks and he caught her in her second week.. and three days after mating the bleeding has stopped

Answer
Hi Kerrie,

Depending on her ovulation cycle, it's to early to tell if she is pregnant.   

Heats can cause "the blues", and stimulate hormonal changes.  Some extra TLC and she should be back to her old self in no time.  

Remember to keep track of 63 days after the tie to prepare for pups (just in case).

Good luck.
