My pet is a dachshund. My dog had been mate to azkal dog and we didn't even know, but it only happen just once, will my dog will get pregnant in only one shot? How many shot does a female dog need before getting pregnant? Because now we notice that her belly starts getting bigger and there is sometimes a liquid liking on her vagina. Could you please help me we don't know what to do

Just like in people, yes a dog can get pregnant on the first attempt. If she is getting bigger and has some clear discharge from time to time, then that could be a sign that she is pregnant. Have her examined by your vet to confirm a pregnancy via ultrasound or x-ray. If you see any green or black discharge from her vagina, then that is a bad sign that something could be wrong with the pregnancy, and you should get her seen on an emergency basis. Here is a website link that also lists other things to watch out for for pregnant pets, if she is confirmed to be pregnant after all. Best of luck! http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1459
