Hi all i am having my first litter. The vet said he could feel at least three puppies (or what he thought were puppies...like little ping pong balls.) Anyway, she is scheduled for her ultrasound on Weds. My questions is the following:
1. When can i hear the heartbeats with a stethoscope or fetal heart monitor on my own?
2. Where do i place the stethoscope of fetal heart monitor so that i know its the puppies and not mom?
3. Is there a way to tell the gender of the puppies? (Through ultrasound or any other techique?)
4. Is it true ( has anyone heard and predicted themselves) if you hear the heartbeats that it is like morse code? Boys=dots and girls=dashes?
Please help all help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
