When will she give birth

Wow that could be a very good option of what happened

It would certainly be best case scenario.

Okay, the milk might be gone because the puppies are weaned. They're the right age. There is also a chance that they feeding them something else. With how starving she is, I'm glad for her health that shes not lactating anymore. ALSO her body could have shut down milk production if shes too skinny - just speculating.

Didnt OP say they have an ad out to sell the puppies? That would indicate puppies that are alive. If they were gunna kill the puppies, I dont see why they wouldnt just kill the dog.

False pregnancy sounds interesting. Pandas do it because they realized pregnant pandas at the zoo get near royal treatment. So who knows.

IF she had pups they would be just a couple weeks old at most. To young to wean or legally sell.

Someone posted here that pups are weaned around 4 weeks.

Maybe they are weaned, but honestly I hope their dead because they don’t deserve a bad life too. If they do have an ad I’m not sure where it is.

Like I said before, IF she had puppies, they would probably be weaned by now. And maybe I'm not seeing it but she doesn't look terribly skinny. Yes, you can see her ribs. But that's actually not starving her. A little rib showing is healthy in dogs. OP, can you see and feel her spine? And just because she gobbles down food when you feed her does not mean they are starving her. My dog will eat all day long if he could. He gets 4 cups of food a day. And has some ribs showing. Vet and I agree that he is at the perfect weight. But he would happily keep eating if I kept giving him food. If dogs have a layer of fat over their ribs or spine, they are actually a little over weight(most breeds). I am not saying that she is not being abused. I'm just trying to be a voice of reason on what seems like a thread of bashing people that only the OP knows.

And I do have plenty of experience with dogs. I used to be a vet tech for many years. I have assisted in many births for dogs and lots of c sections too.

One more thing, if you do keep feeding her OP, which I think is fine, do not let her run around and play after she eats. She needs to rest for at least 30 mins or longer. She could get bloat from playing too soon after she eats. Bloat is a deadly condition where the stomach twists and traps gas in the body. It is an emergency and is 100% deadly without surgery

I wanted to point out earlier that her being afraid of a bat does not neccesarily mean abuse. My dog will cower when we shoot archery or someone cracks whips, but there's nothing I've done that could give him a bad association there. A lot of animals dont like loud noises until they become accustomed to them.

But as @tripletfeb said, I'm not there so I'm not saying shes not being abused. Just that it's possible shes not.

She could also have previously been abused and have PTSD or specific triggers even if shes not being abused now.

I gave a 6 week old squirrel a shot for bloat once. Or maybe more like pre-bloat, slow digestion that could lead to bloat. More was going in tha was coming out.
