Question
1. I have a 9 pound female  and a 4 lb male can they tie with his size she is flagging now and not sure he is big enough?


2 My other female yorkie is pregnant with 1 pup and we saw bleeding spotting today . shes not in labor cause she still has an appetite I done feel the pup moving so I'm assuming that its in place she will be 63 days tomorrow. Does this mean that her mucus plug lost and  if shes active and hangs around  will she have pups soon? I did get the Xray and the pups head is down by her  pelvic area yesterday.

Answer
Hi Dee

Your male can tie he just may need a boost up however, how old is he?  Too young and he won't produce viable semen.

And secondly.  Was it a singleton shown on the x-ray?   Is your female panting or nesting?  The mucus plug is very noticeable.  It's clear and stringy with the consistency of snot, you would notice it.

Single pups can be harder to birth.

Good luck
