Senior Yorkie Talker | X-Ray shows only two puppies, What are the chances of there being more? I took my yorkie to the Vet for an x-ray to see how many puppies she would be carrying, I thought to expect more than two. She is due on or around February 14 I'm hoping that there are more hiding... I'm just afraid that if there are only two puppies then they would have more room to grow bigger and making it difficult for delivery, could this be true? |

| I don't think that is necessarily true sweetie. My Precious had her 1st litter of 5, her 2nd she had 4, her 3rd there was only 1, her 4th she had 3 and her last litter another 4. With the exception of one female weighing only 3 ozs, all the others ranged between 4 & 6 ozs at birth. Precious always weighed between 6 and 8 lbs before and after each whelping. Now that she is spayed, she stays steady at 9 lbs How small is your mommy?

| Maybe you took the x-ray too soon? The bones need to calcify for it to be seen on an x-ray. There could be more than one.

Senior Yorkie Talker | Im taking her back to the vet on the 13th for more xrays she will be on day 60 of her pregnancy...hopefully I will have more details on how big the puppies will be and if there are more than two. I just want to make sure for this is all new to me and I am nervous about her delivery if the pups are going to be bigger than she can handle. My Chanel's weight was 6 lbs before she got pregnant now she weights almost 8 lbs, the father of the puppies only weights 4.5 lbs, both grandmothers are under 6 lbs and both grandfathers are under 3 lbs. I just pray that all goes well!!! |

| It sounds like you're doing all you can to prepare for the special big day! Don't worry too much, they can pick up/smell your emotions. Mimi was 5.5#'s & she delivered 5 beautiful healthy pups ranging from 3-4 ozs. Since Chanel gained almost 2 #'s, I'm wondering if she's got a couple in there? Congrats & best of luck to you & your Chanel!

Senior Yorkie Talker | We didn't have to go to the Vet, Chanel had her puppies on Feb 11th, sooner than I thought. The first X-Ray was right she did have two healthy boy puppies. This morning they both weight 7 oz each at birth one weight 5.6 oz and the 2nd weight 6.0 oz, mother and puppies are doing great....you can see pictures of them on my profile's album called Polo & Chanel. |
