My dog is suddenly clingy and cries after mating. Is she pregnant?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 1 month old | 52 lbs

Hi I was just curious because my normally independent husky doesn't care what I'm doing or where I am but recently my possibly pregnant girl (was only mounted and tied a few days ago) refuses to leave my side. Like to the point that she cries and whines when I leave the house. Is it just coiencedence or could it be related to her being tied recently?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Give her vulva a quick inspection to make sure there is no obvious wound or bizarre discharge. If so, see your vet. If not, it could very well be related to either being in heat or being pregnant- both can cause changes in behavior such as you are describing. Best of luck to you and Nova!
