Pregnant? and infection?

Nikita

My Pitbull and boxer recently got in a fight on sunday night, ive noticed recently that my pitbull's mood has changed and i think its possible shes pregnant, she was in heat about 3 weeks ago when we left for the beach and my neighbore was watching her and said she wasnt sure but thought she may have gotten pregnant with another pit. How can you tell?she seems to have gained a little weight and i think her nipples have started to sag a little.. and also on sunday night, she got in a fight with our boxer,it was a puncture wound, and i cleaned it up but now it was starting to heal and it popped open and bloody puss came out, it was a hard lump, and looked swelled with redness around it.. what can i do for her? until i can get her to the vet...

Symptoms: Pregnancy Related, Wounds

  Clean her wounds with hydrogen peroxide and apply and antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin.  However, if the infection is deep, this will not help much.  Pregnancy can be detected by a blood test, X-rays at 45 days gestation, or ultrasound.
