The good news is, she is indeed pregnant. Unfortunately there is only a singleton pup! The vet thought he saw two skulls but he couldn't be sure, even with the two xrays. There was only one visible spine. So, who knows, but I guess I'll just count on having one puppy. The number isn't what disappoints me, just the fact that singletons are larger. Her pelvis is a bit small so it's worrying to me. Vet said it looks as if the puppy will be able to pass safely thru, though.

They will be emailing the xrays to me. They said to wait about 24 hours, so hopefully I'll be able to post them tomorrow and you guys can share your opinions!

Congratulations on the good (Positive) news! Yes it can be a bit nerve-wracking having a singleton knowing it's got more room to grow larger, but I've seen many whelp stories of singletons that were born naturally with no complications. That is what I am hoping for with Halle (if she truely does just have one) and I wish you the same for Roxie. I am also comforted a little bit knowing that my sire's line is known for throwing small babies, so I hope that helps. I am anxious to see your xray!
