Q. The dog in question is a Dalmation btw...
A. Often when a dog become pregnant they are not unlike humans in the way they sometimes become moody due to hormones. When my dog was pregnant she was much snappier & more territorial than usual. Also, further along they have obvious weight gain & their nipples become more prominent. More towards the end of the pregnancy you can actually put your hand on your dog's belly & feel the babies move, its pretty cool. If none of this helps, you can also take your dog to the vet & they will do an x-ray & an exam to let you know for sure. Have a great day!
Can you worm a dog when she is pregnant?
Q. The dog in question about worming that is pregnant is a beagle.
A. yes, actually now is a good time to prevent mobilization of the resting larvae in her body to the pups. Ask your vet for more advice.
What is the most controversial dog question you've seen and why?
Q. Also, what type of dog do you have?
A. I would say the top 3 most controversial subjects here are breeding questions (Because backyard breeders feel the need to ask questions here for some reason), Pit Bull questions (Usually regarding aggression and the great war on them being a dangerous breed or not), and designer dog breed questions (and the war on them being purposely bred or not).
I would say there are a lot of stupid questions as well (Sick dogs that aren't being vet checked, "teacup" dogs, and so on type questions) but it seems most everyone can agree on the answers for those.
Legit- Personally I have two Australian Shepherds.

Why do so many people ask what to do while my dog is dieing right in front of me?
Q. Really people go to the vet if they don't have answers go to another vet! Dogs should be treated with respect. Just wondering if others have seen this too.
A. 1. Not everyone is aware that a symptom a dog is presenting with could be/is potentially serious or life impairing. As an example a five year old Dobermann that coughs when excited is one of the signs of dilated cardiomyopathy [heart failure]
2. People don�t always plan for the worst case scenario and have sufficient [or any] money saved against the day when their pet is seriously ill and then have the choice of taking on a repayable debt [credit card or loan] or asking strangers for a cheap option.
3. Trolls write inflammatory questions for the sole purpose of eliciting emotional responses and then sit back and bask in their success.
4. There is a slim chance that some questions are genuine and written by minors who don�t know where to turn because either the parent/responsible adult is not contactable/not answering or will not finance the veterinary treatment the dog requires.
While I would not bundle my dog in the car at the first sign of a sniffle, my first reaction if a dog was presenting with symptoms that concerned me would be to go straight to the vet day or night and not switch on the laptop.
