Well, Izzy was a 2 wks before her due date. When we did the xray and ultrasound and found only 3 globs of tissue mass which were remnants of pups. I had her xrayed after the aborbtion process was in the advanced stages.
She passed what was left. We were able to avoid infection by administering Clavamox. I could not imagine calcified bones turning plyable...
My vet told me horror stories of people not watching their bitches for sudden changes and lost them due to reabsorbtion and then infection setting in. Mercy, that would be horrible.
