Flo was amazingly calm and patient on a hot summer’s day in our ultrasound lab in Bromley today. At this more advanced stage of pregnancy, it can be difficult to estimate numbers, but it seemed as though we could see two puppies side-by-side, and at least another two as the transducer was advanced more cranially. It’ll be very exciting to find out how many puppies Flo delivers in her first ever litter of puppies; it’s clear from her temperament that she is going to be an excellent mother!
