my vet had warned me two times, pups heads appear to be large, most likely will need a c-section....as someone else posted "xrays can be deceiving" both bitches free whelped without an issue. The fact is if you breed over 6 days, youre really not sure what date conception took place...you would be risking the pups guessing date of conception....yep if vet recommends c-section only do it after labor has begun, IMHO!
