Yes. They swell just as they do in a horse a few days before the birth is due.
how many teets to the udder do they have; 2 like horses, Or 4 like cows?

Y would a cow have 4 teets when it births 1-2 calves?
Giraffes have four teats.

Each teat on an udder has its own milk gland. Large animals need a lot of milk. One large milk gland is too hard to suck dry - it has to do with tissue pressure. Four small milk glands are more energy efficient than one large one.
Of course - they're mammals!
