For an ultrasound the mother has to have a full bladder and lie on her back for at least 10 minutes all while some guy is pushing on her belly with a probe. This probably will make her uncomfortable and pee all over . Its not easy having someone push on your belly when you really really have to pee. Ask anyone who's had a baby. I would go with an x-ray. The amount of radiation that the mom and pups get is very minimal. I've probably had more radiation from taking constant x-rays then your momma dog will get from one little x-ray. no problems to the litter have ever been reported from x-rays. its usually easier to count the skulls and spines on the x-ray then it is to count bodies in an ultra sound. |
I agree with you 100 percent!!
