I get my females ultrasound done at 30 days so I can verify babies present. I just like knowing, and most of my litters are sold on waiting lists, so I like to knw how many babies are going to be in the litter. Then I get an xray on day 56-58....usually day 58....at which time I measure babies heads to see if they are going to pass thru moms pelvic ring....also, I like to be sure how many placentas I need to be expecting to be delivered along with puppies. I do NOT do well with vets that tell me I "dont need to know something....just wait and see" attutude....These are MY ladies, they are MY responsiblity, and if I want an ultrasound/xray done, dont tell me I dont need to do that "because the pregnancy is half over" and I can just wait and see!!!. Personally, I am doing something each week that my ladies are pregnant....I WANT to know if she is pregnant....at 30 days, if he can read an ultrasound, that is what you can have done now....if he knows how to read one....if he is knowledgable, he SHOULD be able to palpate any puppies....
