My dog is 12 days pregnant. Can I feel her baby bump developing?

Question

My dog is 12 days pregnant she’s very lean built and I think I can feel her baby bump starting to develop at the bottom of her tummy but I don’t know if I’m imagining it is it possible to develop a baby bump that early? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Long Coat) | Female | unspayed | 2 years old | 4 lbs

Hello. You might be feeling the beginning of some mammary swelling, but it is way too earl to feel any puppies. Each fetus would be smaller than a marble at this point. You can follow her pregnancy doing an abdominal ultrasound in another week or so, or an x-ray after 42 days. In a small breed dog, it is not a bad idea to know how many puppies Trixie will have so that if she runs into problems, you will know when to act. Hopefully, she will have a stress free pregnancy & she has a beautiful litter. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
