Since you had her at the vet's yesterday and he insured you that there were no other pups, I don't understand why an x-ray is in order. But, if they feel that it is necessary (although, if there was a pup she would surely be exhibiting signs of an infection setting in) then I'm not going to dispute it. Every vet does it differently. But, because of your nervousness yesterday, not knowing if she expelled all the placentas, a POP shot is in order, it'll help expell all the dead tissue and help bring in her milk. Just make sure that they have an examing room ready for you that has been sterilized. Not, necessary for you to take the pups, if you aren't going to be gone long and they are warm and quiet, although maybe a vet check would be good. I'm sure you're going to take them back for tail docking and dew claw removal on day 3 to 5, so vet check can be done then.
