How Long Dog A Shih Tzu Pregnancy Last?
A Shih Tzu pregnancy normally lasts about 2 months or more precisely anywhere from 59 to 63 days. The reason why dog pregnancy dates are not as precise is because we start counting pregnancy days on the first mating. For example once your Shih Tzu comes into standing heat and is willing to be mounted by a Shih Tzu stud, it should be bred on days 1, 3, and 5. Even though she may not get pregnant until the third mating, we start counting her pregnancy on day 1. Signs That My Shih Tzu Is Pregnant It is hard to tell if a Shih Tzu is pregnant for the first half of the pregnancy because there are few changes. Even a veterinarian would not be able to tell the first few weeks. It is not until the 5th or 6th weeks that you will notice signs of Shih Tzu pregnancy. These signs include abdominal enlargement, increased appetite, weight gain, vulva and nipple enlargement. Normally you don’t see nipple enlargement until the week or so before they give birth.
