Yes ultrasound can detect a fetal hearbeat at this age. If your vet does not have ultrasound readily available (a lot of clinics don't). Then an x-ray taken at 45 days gestation should be able to detect fetal bones. If she is pregnant then best wishes finding forever homes for the pups!

    Ultrasound at this stage should be able to confirm pregnancy. Call the vet clinic you go to to make sure that there is a vet there that is confident with using ultrasound. Not all vets have adequate training to properly diagnose pregnancy via ultrasound.
