If your pet needs any tests, your vet will let you know. If she has parasites, your vet will treat them. During your visit, your vet can use ultrasound to see the growing puppies as early as 3 weeks in. Ultrasound is safe during pregnancy. It uses sound waves to create an image of your dog's womb. The vet may give your dog a blood test to check her hormone levels. Dogs have higher levels of a hormone called relaxin when they're pregnant.
The dog may seem a little more quiet than normal, but apart from this nothing on its aspect indicates its pregnancy up to the sixth or seventh week, when its abdomen begins to progressively increase as the puppies get bigger in size. The dog will need to urinate more often than usual. In the eighth week, the dog's breast, really big already, begin to secrete whitish and transparent liquid. If the coloration of this fluid is not strange, there is not reason to get alarmed.
