I am hearing different things on getting an Xray. I want to do what is right. My Lil Girl tied on May 27th. I was told by my vet to get an xray on her 5 or 6 week. But then told by Breeders not to.. to wait till around 55 days. THen I read that you dont have to get a Xray... What are the benifets to getting an Xray.. I do realize that it can give you an amount of pups.. but can it give you an idea whether or not your baby can handle the pups coming out.
I mean I know there is no gaurantee whether she will have to have a C-section or not... but can it give you a better guestimation? Any other comments on it and advice is appreciated.
