I have a female Chihuahua that is about 53 days pregnant?

That's what happens when you keep two intact dogs of the opposite sex in your house. I'd suggest getting them both fixed asap since you don't intend to breed.

Take your girl to the vet immediately if you think there's something wrong. Don't just call the vet. Get in the car and take her there.

I'd also suggest letting the vet handle the birth. You don't know enough to do this on your own. If something goes wrong, you might lose puppies and maybe the mother as well just because you don't know what to do.

It isn't cheap for her to have the puppies there, but you obviously care about her and I think it'd be worth it to you.

You've helped to deliver a litter of Chihuahua puppies once before, an experience that you did not personally want to go through with your "on pet" because the mother of "that" litter had to have a "cicerone". Yet your female and male "managed" to get together anyway.

And you have not found anything that would tell you if it's normal, EXCEPT YOUR VET.

TROLL.

Let me guess -- you've thrown fireworks into your dog's house. Sicko.

Where is your mentor???

O.k. you don't have one. Take her to the vet and examine her for her crying etc. He can determine by xray or ultrasound etc. if she will need a C-section or not. Hopefully not. Can he give you a name or two of someone who raises Chihuahuas? That would be a great help here as you need some fast. Feed her a high protien diet and add cottage cheese and some chicken baby food to keep her calcium high and protiens high as her needs are greater now than ever. Make her a whelping area safe and quiet and warm for the pups when they come. Have on hand paper towels, dental floss to tie off a bleeding umbilical, clean bedding like smooth towels, and a heating pad on low covered for the puppies as they need to stay especially warm when they are born. they will crawl to the warmth of their Mother or the heating pad as they need it. Boy, you really need a mentor, call and ask for one and get some help. Ask the vet when she can be spayed after rearing her pups. Getting the male neutered and her spayed would have avoided all of this worrying.

Our chihuahuas have had puppies about 3 times already and we really haven't had many complications. One of them was born dead, but that was it. My mom kinda massaged her stomach a bit the first time because it seemed like the puppies were stuck and then we realized it was dead. The other two survived and are adorable

I think dogs naturally know how to handle the situation. I love seeing how protective and caring she is with them. It's really cute.

confident a canines abdomen drops on a similar time as pregnant.i think of a vet bypass to would be required to envision on her.pregnant canines bellys frequently drop one million week to an afternoon or so before birthing.a physically powerful way of understanding if the doggies are waiting to be born is you may locate them kicking alot interior the mothers abdomen while this happens it quite is oftentimes an afternoon or so before the canines provides delivery. My suggestion is take her to a vet as a pregnant canines must be checked besides,and correctly finished for adopting a pregnant canines many people dont choose the activity of looking after a nursing mom and doggies.stable good fortune

Its possible that a pup is laying in an uncomfortable position.. being pregnant myself, I can tell you that its no easy task! There are MANY discomforts that come with pregnancy.. Im sure its no different for dogs!

If you are really concerned, then have the vet physically examine her to be sure that she is ok.

It is possible a puppy is laying in a way that is uncomfortable. You could have the vet check her just to be safe.

Having a C section is very normal thing for female who was bred to male that are much larger than her. Some bully breeds are very prone to C section where their chest are bigger than their narrow hip. Your female might have a competition pregnant.
