Pregnant Scottish Terrier

I think you need to supervise your bitch in season better.

I think you need to do more research about breeding in general since increasing diet and caloric load before week 6 can lead to issues in some bitches.

I think vaccinating a bitch who might be in whelp is VERY UNWISE!!!!!! ESPECIALLY RABIES!!!!

I think you should research Von Willebrand's Disease in Scottish Terriers.

I think you should have an ultrasound done on your bitch to ascertain for CERTAIN if she is in whelp.

And I really think you should spay your puppy and forget about breeding.

JMO of course....

(I DID not planned this breeding.)

(VET told me is was ok to do so it was not my choise and is a KILLED vac NOT live)

I think you should research Von Willebrand's Disease in Scottish Terriers.

(DID AND DONE)

I think you should have an ultrasound done on your bitch to ascertain for CERTAIN if she is in whelp.

(Will do x rays at about 50 to 55 days)

And I really think you should spay your puppy and forget about breeding.

(She is 5 weeks along NOT aborting now.)

Anymore questions when i required answers?

Thanks for the help tho.

Freedom thanks for the help =] Nope the vet told me to keep feeding her like i was doing. A meal a day i guess then? I will go easy on her too. It seems she started this when i started to feed her more.

I was confused by this since I did not see any questions in the previous posts. You did indicate you were looking for advice, and you did receive some advice.

Yes my mistake tho they where advice they seem more like questions. I did not get a responce from Redeye only more questions it seemed. Her first sentence did answer my question but then she continued on. I dint ask for that. But i am still thanksful that she posted and helped out.

I did not ask you a single question.

You asked what people think.

I told you what I think. Of course you would not agree with any of it, or you would not be making the OP.

FWIW, and ultrasound NOW would tell you if in fact your bitch is pregnant or not. SOmething that might be good for you to know.

Well the vet told me is best to wait untill she is at least 6 weeks and i will find out on my own and come back for xrays on days 50-55. So thats what i will do. And she has all signs, tho could be false pregnancy which i doubt. I have never seen her like this.
