4 Cells


This is what one of Darb's puppies look like right now. Isn't she cute?? Looks just like her.
The cells are 4 cell at the start of the 2nd week and 64 cell by the end. The embryos are also entering the uterus.
We may or may not see morning sickness in Darbi this week, but we haven't noticed anything yet.
My experience tells me that I'll have NO IDEA if she's pregnant or not up to the ultrasound booked for the end of this month.
A dog's hormones stay the same, post heat cycle, whether they get pregant or not-hence the unavailablity of a pregnancy test for dogs before 30 days of pregnancy.

We have found that our girls look pregnant much earlier when it's their second litter. Usually we are pretty sure they are pregnant right around the same time as the ultrasound!

Rosco is so much like his mom - no stick is too big or too small.
