Here is a very early photo of a puppy at Day 19. The embryo is just attaching to the uterus. Dixie's pups would have looked like this about 9 days ago.
Day 19 gestation |
Here is a puppy at Day 25. (from ABC News video) Dixie's puppies are at Day 28 so they would look very much like this one below...
Day 25 |
Faces take shape
Fetuses grow from approximately 1/4 of an inch to 1/2 an inch
Vet may be able to palpitate (feel) for puppies
Dixies mammary glads begin to develop
CARE OF THE MOMMY:
As Dixie starts to eat more we will be increasing her food. An egg or 1/4 cup cottage cheese can be
added to food on alternating days. Dixie will enjoy this food supplement:)

I hope you will take a moment to watch it. What strikes me most, about these photos is just how quickly a puppy develops over a relatively short period of time.
