I have a 10 month old female beagle. We keep her in a pen downstairs in the our kitchen. She had her first heat about a month ago. We also have a 1 year old male pug. But her nipples are still pronounced and she sleeps a lot more, she's still active but sorta dislikes it whenever I try to look at her nipples or stomach. Is there a way to tell she MIGHT be pregnant with out taking her to a vet?
finanically I don't think my folks can afford a vet visit right at the moment. IF she is pregnant it was probably when she was alone with our pug. I know there's a huge number of pets in shelters and I know about the whole spay and neuter thing but if any attempts to post that here DON'T!!!
I'm tired of reading that stuff.
If anyone can give me a good answer that's great
thanks!!!

Hmm. Calm down, those people really don't know what they are talking about anyhow. They like to yell at us for things we can't help, or didn't know would happen, ext, ext.. If it was a month ago, you really can't tell without a vet visit. Just keep watching, and just in case start feeding, watering, her more, and no rough play. Weight gain, engorged nipples, laziness, excessive peeing, and closer to two months digging is a sure sign she's likely pregnant. Read up on pregnant dog care on the Internet. And hey, pay them no mind, I think most of us know we are not responsible for our parents financial status. Prepare for the possibility, even if it does not happen... it is better to be prepared for what never occurs then to be unprepared for what does. Good Luck.
Just wate untill she has puppys or dont LOL
How about this...you can't afford a visit to the vet BUT you think it's cool to make more puppies that might need medical help and a mother that could easily have complications.
If you don't want humane decent answers then don't post stupid questions.
I dearly hope the mother and puppies are all fine, but I'm frightened for them at the utter lack of thought and care. They NEED a vet. At the very least, start saving NOW for the care they WILL need. Not to mention the spay and neuter that they will need.
There is no way to really tell at this point. It will be far to early if she is. The swollen nipples can just be a result of her heat and still may be tender. If she doesn't look back to normal with in the next 2 Weeks then the chances of her being pregnant are higher but really the only true way to tell would be to get her into the vets for a blood test at about 28 days into the pregnancy.
No rude answers from me!
Go to a vet to have her checked and while you're there get them spayed and neutered.
I don't really care. You're just another backyard breeder looking to use your dog as an ATM machine.
You're too cheap to get your dogs proper care. It's not that easy to breed dogs. Of course you're probably going to find that out really quick.
There really is no way to tell without a vet visit except to watch her signs of pregnancy.
I am trying not to be judgmental right now, but if you or your parents are not financially capable of providing for the dogs it may be in their best interest to find a new home for them.
If you have a good repoire with your vet- ask them to eyeball her and give you an opinion. If they won't, I don't think the pregnancy tests are very expensive anyway.
My brother's dog just underwent a false pregnancy where she looked pregnant, swollen nips, big belly and all. I think that with the male dog present at your house, you may not be as lucky in this situation. If she does have pups- GET HER SPAYED ASAP! She will be back in heat sooner than you'd think. If you can't afford to have her spayed, you really can't afford a pet right now.
she needs a vet because there could be comlications but she would get fat
CONGRATULATIONS!! YOUR DOG WILL HAVE PUPPIES,THE EASY WAY TO FIND OUT WHEN A DOG IS PREGNANT IS EASY, FIRST, THE STOMACH GOT BIGGER, GETS SLEEPY, SOMETIMES GRUMPY, BE CAREFUL WHEN THEY ARE PREGNANT DON麓T WANT ANY HUMAN CLOSE TO THEM.
SO SOONER OR LATER, YOU WILL HEAR PUPPY SOUNDS.
Ask her if she wants some pickles %26 ice cream.
Don't think there is really a way of telling at her age.Wonder if a Human pregnancy test would work? Lots of dogs don't like anyone to mess with their bellies, unless she didn't mind it before. That would make it odd. Could be a false pregnancy.Then again, could be for real.For y'alls sake, I hope not.Some cities give out free vouchers to get your pet fixed. If she is not now, watch to see if they give them anywhere in your town.It is much healthier for your pet and easier in the long run for you. I know about not having the money to go each time though.Some things you have to go for but with this,he will only tell you if she is pregnant. If she is still acting funny later you may want to take her.
you could sell them and get money
my neighbor just had puppiesand i know that may make me sound llike my neighbors know something but i do too.You have to wait about a week and a half then you will be ably to tell because she will get very fat.She will start getting slower.She wont want to walk as much or play that much but she will still be happy!
I am NOT judging u... your situation (an male and female, neither fixed, in the same household) already exists and u love them.
Im sorry to tell u that a vet needs to confirm a pregnancy and she will most certainly need vet care IF pregnant, to be properly cared for. she'll need puppy food, which has more protein, for sure, the other dog wont need the puppy food, he'll put on too much weight and pugs are prone to that anyway. being overweight has its own set of health issues.
there's no easy solution here that doesn't end with a vet bill, BUT thats a huge part of properly taking care of your pets and part of loving/owning them. At least call the vet to see what a preg. test would cost, call around and compare.. beg or borrow, but do whats right for your furbabies! make saving a PRIORITY to spay/neuter in the future, so the pets dont pay for human error. maybe u can get a part time job at a vet clinic and get a discount on their sugeries?? or simply work anywhere temporarily until u can afford vet care. Good Luck!!!
I have nothing to say but good luck. Don't let the judgment answers get to you. I think people that have just enough money to live on are the down to earth heart people, I rather have people with heart to have animals than someone who thinks they know it all. Good luck.
