A dog usually shows at about 45 days of pregnancy, with a clearly larger belly and swollen breasts that may leak a little milk, plus a surging appetite and rapid weight gain. But with only 1 to 2 pups the belly may not enlarge clearly, so get an ultrasound to confirm and count fetuses.
If pregnancy is confirmed, give extra nutrition for healthy fetal growth.
