Heidii Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) when can you start hearing their heartbeats? around what day?...and do you need a good quality stethoscope to hear? Edited August 26, 2011 by Heidii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMaddy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I heard my pup's heart beat when she was around 6-7 weeks in whelp I think, but wasn't easy to hear with digestive noises, etc. Would be easier with more than one though! Once he dropped down at around 8 weeks he was a lot easier to hear. I've got a good quality stethescope as I bought it for uni, and haven't used it for anything but my animals since graduating! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldielover Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I usually listen for them at around 7 weeks. There is a diagram somewhere that gives you an indication of where to listen but i don't have it on this computer. I have a crappy stethoscope which is about 20 years old and it works fine!

From 7 weeks when they were bigger and movement in the bitch was obvious. I do have a proper medical stethoscope You should hear them under and around the rear of the rib cage....on both sides.... I listened to mum's heartbeat to make certain I was not mistaken for her heartbeat or digestive echoes..... The babies heartbeat is a rapid ticka ticka sound.
