Unless you did progesterone testing, then you don't know what day she ovulated. Puppies are due 63 days from ovulation, not from a breeding. Unless you know exactly what day she ovulated then you don't know the exact age of the fetuses...I sure wouldn't waste money x-raying so early. If you don't see puppies you won't know whether she isn't pregnant or if it is just too early for an x-ray. If you do see puppies, it may be hard to count at this age. I would wait until she's further along. Maybe you can see about an ultrasound if you really want to confirm pregnancy now
