My chihuahua mated. When should I expect puppies? No milk yet.

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | 3 years and 8 months old | 5 lbs

My chihuahua mated starting 9/19/17-9/26/17. My Chihuahuas would tie 2-4 times everyday. When shall I expect pups to be born? She doesn't have milk in her teets when I checked by slightly pinching them. This is her 2nd litter. Thank you!

Canine gestation is reliably 63-65 days. If she took in day one that would mean that around the 22/24 of November would be the time frame. Typically at this point they should have some milk production. Is she showing any other signs of pregnancy? Weight gain? You may consider having her evaluated by a veterinarian to see if she is pregnant not. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
