| It just depends from place to place. I think my vet charges around $70 for an x-ray section. Just out of curiosity, since you are about to start breeding...do you have a mentor helping you through this, or do you just plan to try to pick it up as you go along? |

| By mentor I meant someone with experience with YORKIES. That has extensive knowledge regarding the breed standard, the breed specific genetic issues, and able to help you out w/ some hands on experience FIRST--mainly whelping. This site is great for gathering information, but it's only going to get you so far--and it won't get you anywhere near where you should be. |

| It is around 75 to 100 dollars for an x-ray around here.One vet will let you take them and the others will keep the x-rays.I prefer to take them with me. |

| i have to say you have a lot of threads about the cost of whelping. do you have any questions about yorkies and whelping besides the cost? yorkies are very hard to breed and very expensive if you do it correctly. at least 60% will need a c-section which will run you 2 grand. i know you jumped into this for xtra money but you have to understand....people who breed yorkies do it for the love, not for the money (very little money)....just like people who breed the english bulldog. it is very expensive if you do it correctly. if not, you are subjected to law suits. i really hope you are doing this for the right reasons. there are tooooo many poor breeders of yorkies. if your dogs are not tested and up to the standards, you are in for a rude awaking in. with all this being said, can we see the photos of the yorkies you are planning to breed?

What kind of anesthesia does your vet use? How is the dog monitored? Is the surgery done on a heated surfact? If it is done in the middle of the night does someone stay there with the dog? Are IV fluids given?

| Here in NC (Clemmons area to be exact) x-ray and or ultrasound are normally 47.00 for either. Some vets in this area do not have an ultrasound machine. If you are in the Winston Salem/Clemmons area I highly recommend Emily Roberson at Animal Hospital of East Davie. She is a reproductive specialist and has been wonderful to me and my yorkies since the day she opened her doors. |
