Often it will be eight weeks before you see this and if she only has one or two you may not even see anything then. To be sure she’s pregnant and see the puppies you can have an ultrasound done now, or an X-ray next week. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Tofu.
