[quote=jaydoubledub;4319906]So, the vet was happy with her checkup today. Her temp was confirmed at 98.8 degress, from last night. Shy has been fine and her vet let me know to stay close by. No motorcycle stuff for me for awhile. I asked about getting an xray or ultrasound, but, she told me that there's either 2 or 4 pups to come and that I didn't need it. Her last three visits we went over birthing procedures and signs of distress. I have her vet's number on standby, fuel in the truck, her whelping box is the way she wants it, and her puppy kisses are still all over my nose and in my ears! I won't lie, I'm very nervous. I just smile, nuzzle up to her, and pet her gently. Dash seems to feel left out, so he gets a little conned food mixed in with his dry food too, twice a day.

Just FYI....You get xrays to verify two things. #1...How many babies are there, so you do think you have 2-4 babies ??? and after delivering 4 babies, she rests for over an hour....and she has an undelivered baby in there that your vet did not palpate, and the puppy dies and them om gets into major distress... MOST IMPORTANTLY, you do an xray to determine HOW BIG the babies are....is she going to be able to even HAVE them naturally? Will they fit thru her birth canal???? Good luck with your whelp....hopefully your momma will be one of the minority of Yorkies and not have opne bit of trouble delivering her babies! If she is unable to pass those babies because they are too big, and you end up with a huge emergency c-section bill, dead babies, or even a dead momma, perhaps you can educate your vet that is more confident is guessinf what is going on inside that female, than getting the facts clearly visualized.
