She goes for her xray on Feb. 7th, but I just thought I'd asked your opinions here.
AND Speaking of getting bigger...I got my scale in and weighed her and she's bigger than I thought. She weighs 4.16# as of last Friday. Gizmo is almost 6# (5.8#) But I know she been this size for a while. I don't think it's new growth, I think I was just under est. her weight.
Question: Do you think she's PG and just not gaining???
Should I be concerned. I've been told by the vets office she may not show until the last 2 weeks. Is that right??
Also I know I need to shave her belly before birth. Do you shave all the hair off or how far up on her chest?? Do you also trim the sides of your mothers?
Thank you in advance for any help/opinions you have.

If she weighs 4.16 that's 5 lbs. I never shaved my shih tzu at all when she had her babies, but, maybe yorkies are different
