Question
I think my boxer might be about 6 weeks pregnant....What should she look like? Can she be smaller if there are only 2 or three puppies?
Weight gain varies and stomach size varies due to the number of puppies and size of the puppies.
Google and search Boxer dog whelping and read everything there is about whelping and preparing now.
Gestation is 57-65 days; average 63 days.
Email me at jannieballiett@yahoo.com for further info on preparing and caring for newborns.
Your vet can x-ray her and tell you how far along she is and how many pups she is carrying.
You have a lot of work to do now.
