| I think that is a bit early...if you are certain on you days, have the xray dont day 56-58. All the little bones are calcified and you can see the babies clearly. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Agreed. Do later 56 or so days. Did you ask the vet why they wanted to do so early the Xray?

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Also were you the poster who asked for a mentor near to you and later you posted you found one? Your mentor should have alerted you to the appropriate time for Xrays. Also I know you are in Niagara Falls Canada correct.. Univ of Guelph is not that far away from you - a full spectrum teaching hospital. Hamilton is ringing bells here for me - I have to look up to see if they have a teaching hospital there. Oakville/Mississauga hospital - full spectrum emergency clinic. Great facility. Not sure though they have any repro vets there. My repro vet is in Caledon Hills.

Maybe you are not sure of the breeding date? Perhaps the vet needs to see how far along she is because you are not sure of the breeding date?

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | To answer another comment. My dogs are never stressed in the car. The car is the bestest place for them to go. It means hiking, walking, swimming, playing; all good things. Never thought a breeder would not train a dog to enjoy a car ride.

| Yet another example of how not all vets are right up to date on procedures....especially where whelping and pregnancy is the topic. If you have a really good mentor that has been breeding Yorkies for many years, I will go out on a limb and say she probably can give you better direction than your vet, in some areas! You can listen to what she tells you, compare with your vet, let your vet know your mentor suggested doing something "this way" and WHY she does it that way, and see what the vet says....dont ever make your vet feel like you are challenging HIS knowledge...present it as a learning experience for YOU, not him! |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Judi I get that do not present as a challenge to the vet. I truly don't know how to present this info to her current vet. I have one way. And yeah I am the owner from hell, except no vets have banned me yet from their practice. And Judi in our different ways we are both the owners from hell in one sense. I moved a whole lot of earth for one of my gals to get seen sooner with a critical condition. My own vet moved his own things to get the pathology report done in 48 hrs. I am going out on limb here in a small way. 40 days for Xrays - so not there unless the vet has an unstated reason why so early. If he/she doesn't know 40 days is too early. Quite simply I would bail from that vet.

Sorry dear but you are a breeder. You have elected to go with this pregnancy there were and are options for you to terminate. You didn't you are a breeder. The only good news here is you found some support and got a whelping coach. But there are other things you need to consider. Such as your financial obligations to who ever will be the future owners of your pups you might place with them. What happens if they come up with Liver shunt, or LP, or CT or the many other diseases that afflict Yorkies?p At the very least you need to consider these things. You are commited to bringing new life into this world. You are responsible for their health! Awh I bet you have not considered the more far reaching ramifications of being a responsible breeder - oh yes I forgot just an "accidental" breeder.

I think the same red flag flopped up in gemys face as it did mine. Is the vet suggesting xray at 40 days because: 1) he just doesnt know that is too early? 2) because that way, he can say, "well didnt really see that much, will need to do another one"....(that is $$$$ for him!) 3) question about accuracy of breeding date #1 calls into question regarding his knowledge base.... #2 calls into question his motivation for procedures he believes are necessary. #3 does show his concern for accuracy in the breeding and demonstrates a desire to make sure the female is getting what is best for her, in the correct time frame. If the issue is #1 or #2, suggesting an alternative plan for you with vet care was appropriate and admirable.....again, with the health of the momma and babies gemy's foremost concern. As far as the stress of a car trip, please undersand that is a concept breeders are not really familiar with....our ladies are frequently in the car...competitions, dog shows, training events, groomers, vets, dog parks, play dates, etc....any of my ladies would be just as comfortable whelping in the back of my SUV as they are at the foot of my bed! Also, as breeders, we are accustomed to looking at a situation and options, and measuring risk ratios....to us, the risk of a car ride is minimal if faced with the possibility of a vet not familiar with whelping....#1 above!....having to assist in the whelping of your babies. | |
