Online vet, Dr. Marie

Dr. Marie replied:

It does sound like your dog might be pregnant again. There is no quick pregnancy test for dogs like there is for humans.

Signs of pregnancy in dogs include:

  • Mild stomach upset (vomiting, diarrhea) around 3 weeks into the pregnancy

  • Large mammary glands

  • Milk production (usually happens late in the pregnancy)

  • Large abdomen



However, many dogs who have these symptoms are actually having a false pregnancy. A false pregnancy can happen if a dog was in heat but did not get bred.

In your case though if the male and the female were not separated then it sounds like she is pregnant again.
