Don't understand what you are describing as a blood band, but at this stage she should definitely look pregnant and you should even be able to feel the pups move. They can get milk even with a false pregnancy and once they have one false pregnancy the odds are higher they will have another. She may even actually get pregnant and reabsorb the fetuses.
How much does she weigh? The x-ray can not only determine pregnancy, but can tell you how many, width of Mom's pelvic and size of the pups to determine if she can most likely deliver naturally or you need to schedule a C-section. Actually, your vet's prices are very reasonable compared to other vets in different locations. Yorkies and their breeders are lucky because the puppies bring high prices so we (they) can afford the vet bills and do all that we can to ensure a healthy happy delivery. |
