Is my mini daschund pregnant?
I have a mini daschund that recently went into her heat cycle as expected. We kept her inside after we figured out that she was in fact in cycle, but I see that they can get pregnant before they start to bleed. She has gained some weight and sleeps all the time. Is there anyway that I can tell whether she's pregnant without making a trip to the vet? Of course there is another problem that goes along with it. The only dog that we can think of that would have gotten her pregnant is a golden retriever / german shepard mix. I would hope that it is not possible for this to have taken place, but if indeed it did happen, will she be able to carry the puppy(ies) without causing harm or even death to herself? Is there anyone out there who can help me?
