My Jack Russell Terrier

Was wondering if any one knew the signs of a female being pregnant! Because I have been watching her and she has swollen “nipples” & rear-end!! And she is snapping about simple everyday things!! Please help me on this before I take her to see a vet!! Just wanted to find out first from someone first that knew what they were talking about! I have the money to get her there, just a bad back and take me a heck of a lot longer to get an appt there!! and it emergency hrs now!! Wont do that!! Thanks again so much!!

Well has she been around any male dogs lately? It takes dogs 63 days to have puppies. You can’t usually tell whether they are pregnant or not until right before they are going to give birth. Their mammary glands will be noticeably bigger and she should put on some weight. The only way to be 100% sure is if your veterinarian does an ultrasound. Sam
