Cyda
Cyda is now almost seven weeks pregnant, and if you look on it as one week for dogs against one month for humans, she hasn’t got far to go, although she will get a lot bigger yet! After another week or so, she’ll start to develop the characteristic “football tummy” we all associate with pregnancy, but until then she’ll keep her babies safely tucked up under her ribs.
I won’t increase her food intake until after the pups are born, to prevent them growing too big and necessitating a ceasarean later on.

Hi,
I am hoping my little girl is now 5 weeks pregnant, she doesnt seem to be showing any sign though except lack of ‘running’ enthusiam on walks anymore but this could be the heat also she seems generally more sleepy. I always thought the pups would grow down near her lady bits I never considered they would be up as high as her ribs? This is her 1st attempt at having puppies so forgive me my ignorance! Are there any good tips you have for me or more signs to look out for? I have been reading several articles and looking at pregnancy timelines etc
