There is no way to know just by looking at her. (unless you have x-ray vision) you need to feel around, and taking her to the vet will just gaurentee, how many shes gonna have.

Just by looking at her ? You can only guess how many. Even then it’s really hard to say. I had a b itch who looked HUGE who 4, had one who I thought hmmm.. 5 or 6 at very most and she had 13.
You can guess.. Or ask the vet, and even that’s not reliable.. I have a friend whose husband is a vet, he checked and said 7, b itch had 14.

Its kind a hard to figure out how many she’ll have unless she has an ultrasound at the vet. Which costs about $125. My dog just had puppies a week ago and when i took her to the vet i asked if they could feel around to figure out how many she’ll have and they said it was hard to say until she had the ultrasound. But even with he ultrasound its still not very accurate

It’s not a good idea for inexperienced people to be palpating a pregnant bit ch. It’s too easy to dislodge the fetuses and cause her to miscarry. So, the answer is no, a vet should be the one to do the palpation.

Did you adopt her because they were gonna put her to sleep? That’s the only way I can see a dog being adopted and not spayed.

I don’t believe there is any way of telling just by looking at her. Sorry.

If you know how to palpate, you can get a good idea. Feel gently along her sides and you may feel some little walnuts. Keep in mind though that some puppies may be up under her ribs where you can’t feel them. Kudos to you for adopting her. Hope all goes well with the whelping.

Not really. Even x-rays can be wrong. Thanks for adopting her and taking on the responsibility of her babies.

Without feeling her tummy and before a veterinarian? I guess you could consult your handy crystal ball or call the psychic hotline.

I have a question. If you *adopted* this dog, then why wasn’t it spayed before hand?
