Question
Hi i was just wanted to ask my boxer is about 4 weeks pregnant on her second litter of pups and seems very big in the tummy would this mean i should expect more puppies this time or is it just because she has been pregnant before thank you.

Answer
There is no way to tell by not seeing and giving her an examination, but her size would be an indication of more puppies.

How many did she have her first time? Is the sire this time another Boxer?

Take her to your vet for an x-ray. It will reveal exactly how many pups there are-- and the more puppies-- the more complications that can arise.

I recommend seeing a vet soon.
