I don’t normally get to scan a dog so close to her due date. Kibeth the Cockapoo is due next Wednesday, and it was a joy to see her strong and healthy puppies. The still picture shows the head of one of the puppies (measuring 2.3cm). The first video shows two different puppies, and the second video shows one of the foetal hearts in detail, where you can clearly see the muscular walls of the left ventricle pumping, and the right ventricle wrapped around it....
