Now, why in the world would my vet tell me to get xrays when she is around 5 to 6 weeks... wow, i am glad I mentioned that on here. I have been reading the sites that are giving on here that tell you about whelping and all that you need and trying to get prepared. |
Now she may go into labor anywhere from the 58th - the 63rd day. So, waiting until 58th day you may be too late.....five days from her 1st due date will give you a good x-ray.
If your vet is breeder friendly, you may want to ask him to set you up a whelping kit with some instructions.
1. Premeasured Pop shots
2. small surgical scissors
3. surgical gloves
4. floss for tieing off the umbilical cord
5. hemostats for clamping
6. septic sticks
7. iodine
8. bleed stop.
9. tube for tube feeding....ask the vet for instructions
10. Nutri Drops works better than nutri cal absorbs directly into the gums.
11. Meticated Shampoo to bathe your mom on her first due date.
These are just a few things....and yes, as you said, read and prepare, prepare, prepare.
