missy123 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 hi my dog went for a scan today. she is 5 weeks gone, there are pups there, but vet couldnt see heartbeats, can anyone tell me if i should expect the worse or can it be difficult to pick up there heartbeats if there are a few pups or if my dog was really stressed.

Biggles Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Did your vet not advise you? I'm sorry I don't know the answer but there are many on here such as Gigi who will know the answer to this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronoiiel Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I would've thought the vet would've given you an idea of what was to be expected? Hope all goes well regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyMom09 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Well I hope your puppies were just being difficult...but heartbeat, from what I understand should be present/noticeable at 17-23 days. Is she having any discharge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now it's a waiting game, perhaps in a week if all is progressing well a followup with your vet (or another) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 We have to wait until sutsibe replies...she usually comes on late evenings in my time (EST). Hopefully the new vet can give you better answers...I'll keep my fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Sorry, I've been out and only just got on Husky Owners... Unfortunately, I haven't had that many scans/ultrasounds done, so I can't give a definite answer. I will say that it's been my experience with the ultrasound machines my vet's have had that it can be difficult, sometimes, to really get a good view of what's happening, especially if the vet or tech doing the scan doesn't have a lot of experience and skill. I would also believe that if the bitch is moving around that it would also be harder. A little bit of clear discharge wouldn't concern me greatly. Watch for colored discharge, as previously mentioned, as well as odor. As long as she seems to be feeling well (not suddenly lethargic or not eating well, no fever) she's probably ok. It's possible, even so, that if the puppies have died, that she would be fine - it's common that in that case, the puppies' bodies are just resorbed into her system. I've only lost one litter over the years after pregnancy was confirmed - and that litter was conceived (accidentally!) on day 26 after I first saw blood - I thought she was out of season!

Biggles Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 :grouphug:This waiting game must be awful, but at least you have found out early on whether you have confidence in your vet to be able to treat her or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
