[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11487"] I had a quick look and couldn't find you a good site to look at. When I'm palping animals, I judge the fetal age on a few factors. Vesicle size mouse= 60d ( I do younger than that but I won't describe how to do it....) rat= 72d watermelon= 90d then it drops over the brim of the pelvis, and the caruncles start developing. At 4.5mo, it's generally dropped to the bottom of the abdomen. 5 months you can palpate a thrill in the uterine artery. The calf doubles in size in the last 3 months of gestation. The calf starts into position at 8 months of gestation... If you could feel bones, it's likely at least 6 months along...if it's small it's either closer to 6 months than calving OR maybe twins etc. Clear as mud? V [/QUOTE]
