My vet always does two views, one is lateral, the other is with her on her back, an anterior abdominal shot. This enables us to determine and measure head/pelvic ring ratios and presentations of the babies at that point in time....this last litter xray had everyone lined up head to tail, with all heads presenting, and while they CAN rotate, this whelp presented exactly as shown on x-ray, all came head first. As anticipated, the two little girls in the left horn came first, and the males from the right horn followed. The two females were the smallest of the babies on x-ray, so after all babies were born and weighed, it was affirmed the girls were the babies that were indeed occupying the left horn.
