Xray? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Brooklyn is definitely pregnant...yay! She's already showing! I just got off the phone with my vet who said that he can't do an xray until around 45 days along or so. Does that sounds accurate to you?

He said something about the bones not being calcified until then?

I usually dont have an x-ray done until about 5 days before the due date. that way the vet can measure the skulls to see if the bitch can deliver them normally. Why pay for an x-ray at 45 days and again at 57 days?

Most breeders wait but your vet is correct. Xrays can't be done before 45 days. Ultrasound could be though.

But just an xray is fine, correct? Then if there's suspicion of complications because of the xray, then I can get the ultrasound done?

I would just do an xray. Ultrasound would come in handy if you wanted an answer earlier.

Ultrasound if fine for the impatient

which has included me. But if you're sure she's pregnant....An xray would do for count and size. Though it wouldn't do any good until at least the 45th day.

I get my xrays at day 55 to 58. What day is your girl on now ?

My vet did a xray AND a FREE ultrasound just cuz he was curious to see the babies inside

He was curious too! It was amazing to see those heartbeats inside mama's belly!

Oh she isn't that far along at all...

Only about 22 days or so...but she's already showing and has gained almost a pound!!!

Lord I hope she doesn't have 10 or something!!!

I bet that was amazing! That was nice of your vet, sounds like one in a million lol.
