My vet palpates her early on and we have fun with guessing how many of which sex, etc., HOWEVER we still do an x-ray a week before her due date to be sure. It seems to me through my experience around here that you need to find an old country vet to do a palpation. The newer/younger vets don't talk about it or even try to guess at the number of pups that way. It also seems that my very experienced country vet is always right! |
