But never have an x-ray done with more than 10 days left until your females due date, because the bones will NOT be calicified enough to see the puppies spines and skulls!
No I was wondering that too. I will have to ask her next time we talk and get back to you on that.I know she has been breeding for almost 20 years and that was her first c section. But I will ask next time she calls.
