Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My dog is just over 2 weeks pregnant hopefully, she had a successful tie however in the last 4 days she has been losing a brown ,slightly sticky discharge which has no odour, there's not a lot and she doesn't have a temperature, shes eating normally, slightly more than usual maybe, she is quieter but has been since a couple of days after mating. She is 2 and this is her first pregnancy

Unfortunately, it is too early to confirm pregnancy. You will need to wait another two weeks before your veterinarian can confirm a successful mating via blood test, palpation or abdominal x-ray/ultrasound. Monitor for lethargy, fever, straining to urinate, heavier discharge or bloody discharge. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
