She has tied on her second heat but isnt showing at 5weeks. I had found a dog to tie my little dog with. They had sleep overs on nuermous weekends together and in that time I had seen her tie a few times when I had her mate. She is nearly 5 weeks now and her tummy isnt showing, her nipples have gotten bigger and her breast look saggy but her tummy doesnt look like she is pregnant. When do chi's show? Does tieing multiple times means she should be pregnant? I am worried can someone give me a clue. thanks!

She probably is pregnant. She may only have one puppy. You will need to have her xrayed 1 week before her first due date. Most dog do not go the whole 63 days. It is not unusual for them to deliver earlier. That is why you need the xray one week. More then likly, she was pregnant on the first tie. A female dog is only fertile for 3 days during their heat. The rest of the time, they can be just horny. Make sure you have a good amount of money set aside, and you learn everything you can about whelping. Chi's are very prone to c-sections. Not all have them but alot do, esp. when they are only carring one or two pups. A dog can get exhausted, and the mother and puppies can die if they are not delivered in a timely mannor.

An emergacny c-section in my area was $1000 give or take. We almost lost my friend pit. She had to have a blood transfusion. She did make it, but hasn't be quite right since. She is kinda goofy now.

Sherri, please use normal text when replying. It is also best not to advise on eating the placenta (widely differing medical and breeder opinions on that).

It's also a good idea to look at the date of a post before replying. The OP of this thread was asking for information several months ago. I'm pretty sure the whelping is long over and done with.

How old is this dog? Did you breed her with another Chihuahua on her sleepovers, and what size was he, if so? How many times did the dogs achieve a tie?

I did'nt notice the date either. Please disregard.
