there has been a stray lab outside my house for the past 2 days, and we have tried feeding it but it won't eat, it only drinks a little water every now and then. i'm thinking that it is pregnant, but i can't tell. can someone help me??

also, i want to let it stay in our yard, but i already have 2 golden retirevers, one is a boy. what should i do??im not sure if i should take it to the vet or not, because it doesn't have a collar and i'm afraid it might be carrying a disease. :eek:

Please someone help me?!

Thank you for caring for her. I will just not upset myself by thinking about her former owners. About a month after being breed, an experienced person can feel any puppies. There is also ultrasound and X-rays, but I'm sure you don't want that expense. Any vet can easily tell, some of the people that breed dogs regularly, or maybe even somebody at the local shelter. Any puppies will be born about 63 days after being breed.

Maybe your best thing would be to try to find a Lab rescue in your area. They are very caring people that love a breed of dogs, and take in ones need a home, give them training and medical care as needed, and then work to find the right home for them.

It is possible she was a well cared dog that her owners underestimated the lengths she would go to to get loose to find a male. Check the ads, shelters, vet's office, etc. The shelter and vets should also have a chip scanner.

Come back if you need more help. We will have family over Labor Day, and I may be slow getting back, but I care, and I will do all I can to help.

I am actually not old enough to drive, but my parents do not want to take it to the vet and don't really care about it.I want to call the humain society, but I don't think my parents want me to, because they don't want to go through the trouble

I left something important out, http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm It is a good place to start to find a rescue, people that want to help, even if they are over loaded. Otherwise, the humane society shouldn't be much bother. As long as you have the dog restrained, so they can have when they come, that is all there is to it. The humane society struggles with too little resources for the job on hand.
