My pet's belly is dropped. Could she be pregnant? What are the signs?

Question

Does she look pregnant her belly is very dropped it never use to be like that if so how far along

Dr. Kristin DVM · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell based only on the appearance of her belly. Weight gain, and loss of muscle tone, can both lead to a dropped appearance as well. We look at other signs, such as development of her mammary glands. Ideally, a veterinarian can perform an ultrasound, and this could tell you if she was pregnant, and if so, roughly how far along pregnancy might be.
