I was at her birth & her mom was a trooper, no issues at all... so Im hoping daughter has the same success.

The only thing I was thinking is, doing an xray for the 55th-59th day, isnt that cutting it too close? B/c they give birth upto the 63rd day, but most go into labor alot earlier, her mom went into labor on the 57th day, so Im kinda doing a ballpark around that time... so thats why I wanted to do the xrays a little earlier... I will keep ya posted. Ill take her 7week belly pic tomorrow & post, thanks.

The 55th day from the first breeeding is the earliest an x-ray should be performed as to not harm the pups. Whelping can happen anytime from the 58th day of the first breeding to the 63rd day of the last day.
