Hello. Dogs are pregnant an average of 63 days. By the 4th week, you should notice some roundness to her abdomen, possibly some slight swelling to the nipples, but the biggest changes will occur the last 3 weeks of her pregnancy. So you should really start seeing some changes in another 7-10 days. If she is otherwise well, missing a meal now & then is probably OK. Seek veterinary help if you are at all concerned about how Soska's pregnancy is progressing. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
