So yesterday would have been 32 days and you can palpate from approx. 28 to 30 days then they get surrounded by fluid and not so easily felt so that could be right. If you are now feeling them again today depending on size she might be a week further along. Post size of bumps and maybe someone else can estimate gestational age. My girl is 29 days and I do not know if she is pregnant by looking and I do not palpate for fear of harming embryos. She only had the one tie so she may or may not be. I really doubt a vet would be able to estimate gestational age unless very familiar w the breeding of toy dogs. There is a chart as to when bones show and teeth show on xrays so later he may have an idea. Listen for heartbeats and feel for movement and this also helps with a guesstimate. The temperature chart has always worked for me so I think you will have a 24 to 48 hour warning. |
