Is there a blood test for females who have been bred, to see if the bitch actually got pregnant?

The best test is an Ultra-Sound. This can be done at 20 days, but at 45 days the vet can tell you the number of pups. my vet charges $45.00 for this. My advise is to find a vet who has an Ultra-Sound. It’s worth a hour or twos drive to verify that the bitch is pregnant.

Direction for test procedure:

1. Collect blood in EDTA purple top tube.
2. Spin blood - after putting in QBC Venous vet tube.
3. Put in Idexx fibrinogen precipitator for 5 minutes.
4. Spin blood again.
5. Put in QBC auto reader after changing to dog fibrinogen option.

Fibrinogen test results:
Small to medium dogs:

• >300 Probably pregnant
• 275-300 Questionable

Large breed dogs:

• <280 Probably not pregnant
• 290-325 Questionable
• >325 Probably pregnant

Have your vet draw blood between the 27th and 28th or 29th day.
