Vet can Palpate (feel) and possibly detect pregnancy between days 27 and 31
(after day 32, fluids increase to protect pups and making palpating not possible)

Suggestions:
-- Limit working dogs and refrain from Strenuous activity like jumping and long runs. For small Companion Dogs, slightly reduce activity, especially in agility
-- Some like to add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese + 1 scrambled egg every other day. Or mix (refrigerate) + add a tbsp to daily food (yes we have been)
This week we are taste testing OC RAW DOG FOOD, it's all natural, with AAFCO guidelines and human grade fresh meat & produce, wheat free, grain free, all natural.
We feed all of our poodles NuVet vitamins and wean the puppies on NuVet daily. Our puppies are especially healthy from the womb
************ 5th week ************
Day 28 to 35
At this time the fetuses begin to look like dogs; their toes, whiskers, claws all are developing. They have become boy and girl puppies, eyes that were open-now close. (When eyes are developing in the uterus, the eyes are developed in an open position and then they close and remain closed until about 10 days old or so.)
Embryos are MUCH more resistant to development problems now
The Dam's weight will begin to increase, and swelling will begin to be noticeable.

If you have given a maternity haircut swelling will be easier to see.
this is the week she starts to gain weight quickly
Suggestions
--Increase food slightly (she's getting hungry, we've had her on puppy Orijin since we bred her, now that we just moved to California we are looking into other holistic/natural dog foods, we are not able to get Orijin locally.
You can do an ultrasound at this time, if you wish (ultrasound is scheduled for saturday)
