Thanks for your question. There are tests that can be done by your veterinarian to determine if Soska is pregnant after about 3 weeks including ultrasound, x-ray, and blood tests. As she is farther along you will notice enlargement of her nipples and mammary glands. Often a decrease in energy is noticed as early as two weeks into pregnancy, although this isn't always the case. You do not need to limit her activity, she will do this on her own. There is not a simple pregnancy test like we have for people, so you will have to wait a bit to know for sure. I hope this helps.
