Questions about pregnancy

[GSDMaciemoo]

My GSD is pregnant. We had a ultrasound done and the vet counted 7-8 puppies. He also said she is about 28-30 days pregnant. BTW this litter is a accident. A friend was dog sitting and her dog got her so I was told. My questions are........How long till her belly gets big? And what are the odds of her absorbing or losing the puppies before they are born? Thanks

I don't know if it's possible to predict that, but if you don't want her to have this litter you can do a spay termination. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body...rmination.html

Otherwise, I'd start planning how you're going to find good homes for the puppies.

So this is her 2nd accidental pregnancy? How did the other whelp go with the single pup?

Usually they start looking fuller, especially with a large litter, after 4.5 weeks.

Aborting the litter can happen. Friend had her bitch abort her litter 2 weeks before she was due.

Cassidy's Mom's suggestion is a good one.

We do this routinely in rescue and I can tell you it is safe, and the girls didn't mind at all they weren't becoming mamas.
