I would take her back in a week to recheck, have another x-ray done. I don't know why your vet told you 48 days, I've always been told to do it at 56 days, any earlier and your chances of seeing the pups are limited. If my memory is correct, sperm can live for several days so there is a possibility that her real conception date is later.
Again I would redo the xrays in a week when they are closer to being born. She won't whelp before 58 days so you have plenty of time but it gives you a better idea of how many puppies and their size. |
