Hmm, the vet told me not to wait too long as they may be too large to see how many?? I'm going to check out the link you just gave me!
Thank you |
I have never hear that. I do know that if a female is going to have a huge litter then it is sometimes hard to tell how many are in there. I guess since your vet is your mentor, more or less, then it would be best to do what he advises.
Hopefully she will have at least two pups in her. Often if the female is only carrying one or two pups, the pups will get to big and that can lead to a c-section.
I think most vets like to wait closer to the due date so they know how big the pups will be and if the female will be able to deliver them. I imagine your vet will want to x-ray again closer to her due date.
