Dr. Andrea · Accepted Answer

Most likely, your dog can give birth to these puppies. However, Chihuahuas are always at risk for needing a C section due to their small size, tendency to have larger head puppies and small litters so careful monitoring is necessary. She should have xrays closer to birth to help see if problems are coming. If you were going to spay her anyway, you could do it right away before the pregnancy can take. Good luck with your pup!
