Not sure why or what the unexpected is. But I'm posting this because this because other people read this. I ignored the initially response about palpating but I can't sit on this. If someone reading this actually cares to listen, it may be helpful. If someone wants to comment about my comments, that is good too. This OP sounds pretty set in his ways about what he's doing. Who free whelps two pups without losing one or a sec?
Why would a Vet palpate her? Are you saying that as a word for something else? Two puppies? First time mom? What you need the most is a very close VET. Are you in a rural area and is your vet one of those old timers? I can't image a vet palpating to GUESS. Why palpate when they have all of the tools needed for a pretty accurate reading?
The prices for xrays and ultrasounds (pushing the xray but not the other) and these things made me question the vets lack of breed knowledge or be an ol timer. I'm sure he/she's very nice. You said they were going to give you the size of the puppies, did they do this? Did they tell you how?
