She gets fed feedwell meal and a meat mix, Im 99% positive, she
has presenting herself to the male and i caught them in the
process, although i did not see an entry, but alot was going on.
her teats are large, + large cupped milk sacks, no milk though
as its a bit early shes swollen all round and solid.

I got my bitch a scan at 28 days after mating to make sure .
Then changed her diet cause she was on raw and to much calcium
is bad for them. Feed her normal food plus half again if that
makes sense ...when was she covered

4 TO 5 WEEKS AGO. I wouldn't be disappointed if she wasn't but
this does not look like a phantom pregnancy.

if your sure its about 4 or 5 weeks book a appointment with vet
get her booster update and wormed be careful not to over feed
her and start to feed a small amount of lactol powder to her
with development of her and the pups the other thing is to
maintain her fitness some people just stop walking their dogs
this doesnt help in any way just makes it harder on the bitch
start to plan were she is going to have them and if different
from her normal bed get her used with it
have a bottle of honey in the house this can be used to start
the pups sucking on her and giving her some will help her not
going into shock

dont need to feed any extra food to a bitch in pup, until she
actually whelps ..
feeding raw does not cause to much calcium in pups during
pregnancy ... raw is by far the best food for the bitch..
worm the pups every 2 weeks with a good wormer not any old pet
shop rubbish, panacur is real good stuff ,
