Is my 9 month female pregnant?!
She had her first head in December, my male dog and my first mated on the 6th of December 2012 they had a tie, my male dog became aggressive during this period and we were unable to stop matting occurring, they also bred on another few more occasions with a 10-20 min tie, more than 4 times my male is 18 months old, my has had a few days where she has eaten very little, one morning she was sick twice, didn't want to do nothing, no interest in anything, her nipples are a tiny bit bigger and more noticeable, was not very active, my male dog also guarded her for a good three days (whilst on heat) just crying, trying to mount her but she would not allow it, my dogs vagina has not gone back to the way it was before? She has been more relaxed than normal but not a huge difference more effectuate wanting to be on the sofa more etc.. is that normal? It has only just happened where she has been more alert and active playing with my male and eating? Anyone help? I need to know if she is pregnant badly, I was planned on getting her spayed but id never knew she would come into heat so quickly.

Why do you ask, 9 months pregnant, if this was all just a month ago? Have her spayed ASAP unless you can afford to deal with puppies. We can't say if she is pregnant or not, but chances are that she is.

I meant 9 month old female sorry, we have went to out vets they said they're all booked up, friends have told me dogs can not get pregnant on their first heat, she isn't even a year old, I don't know if it is even possible if she could be? I took her in from a friend who didn't want her? I never knew they could become sexually mature at this age?

Well I am very sorry that you were given wrong information from your friends.

Female dogs can get pregnant when they come into their first heat cycle. Especially if they have been bred as many times as her.

In fact, due to her being bred more than once, the chances of her having a very large litter is highly possible. That is very dangerous for any dog, but especially a young dog.

Her acting lethargic and "different" is very alarming. Dogs are not like people... as far as the veterinary world knows, they do not experience morning sickness or any of the other ailments of pregnancy that people talk about. Her acting like this can be something else..

I would suggest an emergency spay. And by that, that would mean either finding another vet to preform the surgery or paying the emergency fee to have her spayed at your vet. There are many cons to a young dog being pregnant.. and young mama dogs with their first litter is NOT fun to handle; they have no idea what they're doing and would rather not deal with it.

Even though your girl as been bred, she is still technically in heat. She should actually start to come out of it pretty soon. Her vagina will become normal sized again, but probably not small and very tight. That is typically the sign of a female who has never come into heat or has never been bred or welped puppies. Your male is protecting her and is acting agitated because he is claiming her as his, taking role as alpha male and female dogs in heat bring out the absolute worse in intact males. I would suggest to neuter him asap as well.

As far as dogs becoming sexually mature.. They are more than capable of being bred and raising puppies as soon as 6 months of age. Females typically come into heat between 6 and 12 months old.. however, just because they can be bred, doesn't mean they should be bred. There are a lot of side effects and dangers of young dogs being bred. Dogs in the wild who are bred at a young age don't always make it, especially if the litter is big.. on top of that, most of the puppies born to a first time mom and/or young mom don't always live due to her inexperience. Humans make that all possible.

But like I said.. you should really consider an emergency spay for her. Think of this as your 13 year old daughter having a baby.

There's no way to determine if your dog is pregnant via the internet. I would recommend going to the vet for an ultrasound. If she is pregnant, I agree with Lucky that a spay abort should be done.

Your post is a bit hard to understand, it took me forever to figure out what "more effectuate" meant, so I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but it sounds like you didn't want to breed her. I have to ask, if that's the case, why isn't the male neutered, and why were they allowed to mate not once, but at least 5 times?

Are you a registered breeder? If so, then why are you not only allowing a 9 month old puppy to breed, but also, why are you asking this question? You should know the answer, as a registered breeder. Or are you a backyard breeder, which makes you lower than pond scum.
