Well, a 4 1/2 pound girl is small. Good thing you got the x-ray done. Her having 3 to 4 pups will be better than if she only carried 1 or 2. This way the pups won't be as big as in the case of a single puppy. Did the vet give you any indication if he thought she could deliver these babies or not? He should be able to tell from the size of their heads as compared to her pelvis. If he didn't mention this, you should ask. That will give you an idea as to whether a c-section would be needed. It's not the only thing to consider, but this is something you'll want to know before her due date. |
