You can hurt her or kill the pups. At this stage, you will have a hard time determining what might be fetuses, and what might be fecal matter anyway. Even vets have a hard time distinguishing. I suggest not probing her belly any more. You really should not be trying to feel the puppies unless there is a vet there guiding you. You can hurt her or kill the pups.

If your dog is 42 days, then she would be showing by now as the gestation period for pups is 63-68 days. However, depending on the breed, and the amount of puppies, you may not be able to feel them for about another week. Puppies, when your dog is showing, feel like hard lumps in the belly. If they are moving around, then they are easy to feel. An xray can tell you if your dog is pregnant, but cannot tell you FOR SURE how many she will have. It gives you a good estimate though. Smaller breeds usually have smaller litters, or sometimes only 1 puppy. So it might be hard for you to feel them right now. Do not push hard on the abdomen as you can cause problems. Just lay your hand on the abodomen with out pushing. Good luck! You will feel puppies in the caudal(rear) of the abdomen.
