So, Kyler is indeed expecting puppies!! We did a quick ultrasound at work yesterday and saw several puppies!! We will know about how many when I take an x-ray after day 40 of her pregnancy.
You really cannot tell accurately with an ultrasound how many puppies there are, as you can sometimes double count and the puppies can hide behind things, such as stool. (which was Kyler's problem, she had to go..) The best way to know is by taking an x-ray after day 40 because then you can actually see the spines and skulls and count them for a fairly accurate count.
Kyler has been pickier than usual when it came to her food, so I had a suspicion that she was pregnant, but it was great to get the confirmation and actually see the little babies and their umbilical cords! Now we wait! She is due around August 4th, so we will be busy building our whelping box between now and then!

- I work as a surgical nurse in an emergency veterinary hospital. I live in North Central Massachusetts with my wonderful husband, Mike, my 5 year old daughter, Jaida, our 1 1/2 year old, Kalyn, and my other "kids" Cedar, Kyler and Rogue, the Vizslas. Of course I can't forget the chukar, quail, pigeons and chickens too. The game birds and pigeons are really the dogs pets, however...
