Remarkabull Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 What stage do you recommend having a X-ray on a pregnant bitch done? Simi is 6 and a half weeks and is enormous! I truly can't imagine she could stretch much more. We did an ultrasound at 5 weeks and could see 5 pups but since then she has ballooned. We weighed her this morning and she has gained almost 8kg! This is her first litter and I would like to know how many are in there so when she whelps I can be fairly sure of when its over. I'm actually a bit worried about her and just want to make sure everything is ok :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Better to ultrasound... the amniotic fluid is somewhat opaque on x-ray. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 To get a count on numbers you xray after 8 weeks. Sometimes puppies can't be seen on xrays etc as they hide behind each other, or the count is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
