HA-I saw that too and was wondering about that. I've only heard 3 heartbeats but I dont have a great stethoscope either. Wednesday is day 57 so we dont have too much longer to guess.

I was trying to listen to heartbeats again just now--my poor girl! I could see her belly tightening up and she was flopping on the bed trying to get comfortable.

I'm definately questioning if there are 4 though. Definately 2 on the right....thats not in question. However-on the left--I'm just unsure. The one on the lower left--thats the one in question. The vet didnt point that one out at all.

LOL I'll keep listening though--I'll catch her when shes sound asleep and let you know if I pick up a 4th heartbeat.

I have no patience..haha I wanna know NOW.

Has she had the puppies yet? How many were there? I only see two.

Please update us...

What day is she on now? I'm really not sure about the 4th one, it could be a gas pattern (though it looks to regular to be that). You wouldn't necessarily hear a 4th heart beat if one is lying on top of another though (which could also explain the poor visibility of the 4th).

This is exciting- What do I get if I guessed right?

ETA: Duh- just saw that today is day 57!

haha Today is actually day 59..I miscounted. No pups yet.....but I'm anxiously waiting. I'm already having sleepless nights cuz I keep waking to check on her. We're all ready though.

I found a better stethoscope and too bad cuz now I hear heartbeats everywhere (thats what I get huh).

Or east, or west... Pups aren't always born head first. We once actually passed the time once betting M&Ms on if the next pup would be born feet or head first and if it would be a boy or girl.

I see two little spines.

Oh, good. Glad I'm not the only one. I originally saw 4 also but I'm very inexperienced at reading x-rays. Can't wait to hear the outcome. Good luck with the birthing!!

Lol, I only saw 2 but dont really know what I'm looking for. There is a dark shape that looks like a rabbit, lol, if that says anything about my experience in looking at these things. Good luck with your future litter

An x-ray will show the size of the puppies to ensure they are adequate size for safe delivery. Although the head count is still in question, I know I can at least expect three and I'll definately watch for a 4th AND a rabbit.
