Answer
Hello Charlie and thanks for the question,

Yes, it does sounds like she is expecting. Other symptoms she may show are aggressiveness towards the male or other GPs and more times of inactivity. She will also long for treats and eat more of them when they are given.

Thanks and good luck,
Ryan
