Is my dog pregnant? Or is it just her worms.

[Fangeddeer]

My dog is infected with worms n were trying to treat it yet I’ve been bugged by her nipples. They’re not normal, at least to me.
Is this normal? Am I overreacting?

I assume she is a female and is not spayed?
Do you know when she was last in heat?

Unspayed. And a month or two ago

Hate to say it but if there’s any chance she was mounted, she’s probably pregnant. 40% chance from just one mounting assuming the male finished his business

What are you treating the worms with? I only ask because the word 'trying'.

 

[Ilovemychicks08]

She is a unspayed female and if her last heat was a month or two ago. She could likely be pregnant. Was she around a unfixed male dog?

How long has she had worms?
And have you gave her meds for them?
Also has she been to a vet?

she was around unfixed dogs and I tried to keep them off of her. None were dangerously big though
I don’t know. We’ve never had a dog have worms.
yes, we’ve gave her dewormer
No she hasn’t

Do you think I caught it early then? Bc she’s skinny

A dog pregnancy should last about 2 months (63 days is the most common estimate I see). So if she was in heat a month or two ago, the timing is about right.

she was around unfixed dogs and I tried to keep them off of her.

I think there is a pretty good chance she is pregnant, but not a certainty.

Are you able to take her to a vet? That could be a good way to learn if she is pregnant, get advice about the worms, and have the vet check if she is generally healthy in other ways.

If a vet is not an option, you should probably start researching what to expect when a dog gives birth, and how to raise puppies, in case that is what happens.
