OK, well, I have no medical training other than what breeding Yokies has exposed me to, so asking for x-ray with bitch on her back so I can predict gender isn't something I would have thought of. When I get a prenatal x-ray it's mainly to calm my own nerves. When they say it's only one big whelp I get very scared and line up help for a c-section. When they say it  looks like 5 or more I recruit extra hands-on help to clean them up. get them breathing, and keep me breathing.  My vet is a very smart man and I will discuss this with him at some point.
