I have been breeding Yorkies for 12 years and have never x-rayed. I have had to have 1 c-section during that time and that was a 5 lb female with one large puppy. She had a c-section after labor started and mom and baby were just fine. I have a friend that x-rayed twice and both times the vet was wrong on the number of puppies. A vet generally cannot tell for sure if the mom will be able to pass the puppy just based on the x-ray. |
