How can I know my 10 mo old puppy is pregnant?

Yes, a puppy can get pregnant if mated on her first season, which can occur anytime between 6-18 months of age. Has your girl been in season, and if so, has she mated?

It is very irresponsible, unethical, cruel & dangerous to let your dog mate & have puppies when she is barely grown herself - what breed is she? If I were you, I would get her speyed ASAP.

She can if she's been "in heat". Of course, if it's an accident I'd recommend consulting your vet quickly for things you can do for the puppy. I know for some middle/larger breed dogs it takes about 2 months for the puppies to arrive, so she will still be a puppy herself when the puppies are born, if she is pregent.

If you are thinking about breeding your dog, DO NOT. That would be very irresponsible and dangerous to such a young dogs health. If you fear you didn't get her spayed in time, then hopefully she isn't. Again, I recommend seeing a vet ASAP and finding out for sure & if not, schedule a spay appointment (If she is not "in heat" or been in it within the past few months, but your vet will be able to discuss it with you in greater detail).

You can not give her a pregnancy test. She needs to be taken to a vet asap. If she is pregnant, she will most likely need to have her litter aborted before the pregnancy progresses because having a litter that young can very easily kill your dog. Get her fixed or your male dogs junk cut. There is no reason that that happened if you have opposite sexed pets they should've been fixed before this became an issue.

I have to agree with everyone else on this one. A puppy doesn't just "become" pregnant. Something would have to happen, involving a male dog.. It is your responsibility, as the puppy's owner to make sure she is safe and things like pregnancy are prevented.

I will side with everyone else on this issue, get her to a veterinarian to find out, and have her Spayed ASAP!!
