I think x-rays are important if you are breeding a very small female so you know if she can pass the puppy. The best thing is to not breed tiny females.
Mom and babies are doing well. Thanks for your concerns. I hope your daughter has good luck with her lab. Now that will be a real job taking care of Lab puppies. |
the xray is not for breeding tiny puppies, it is to make sure she can deliver a puppy...measuring the puppies head compared to the pelvis. a ten pound yorkie could have just as many problems delivering a puppy than a 5lb yorkie.
i normally do not get x rays on my proven females but any having their first litter, it is a MUST that i have them xray'd
also, i ALWAYS get the oxy shot.
