Yorkie pregnancy updates please ! - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Oh Jeez... I'm not sure I should be reading some of these posts...!!!

I'm the proud Grandma of Bo, a 2 and a half year old Yorkie (pic to come soon). Her mom and I had her bred exactly four weeks ago today (she had a sleepover at her boyfriend Titi's pad... LOL). Not sure if it's taken, although she does seem to be getting a little "rounder"...

To be sure, the wait is killing me. Is it too soon for an x-ray? Or does anyone know if they do ultrasounds?

If she is whelping, we plan on keeping one of the pups and giving another to my other daughter (if she has more than one - it is, after all, her first pregnancy) But honestly, I hope she has no more than two, 'cause I don't think I could bear to part with the other pups...

Isn't it crazy how attached you get to these little critters...

Linda, my vet did an ultraspund at only five weeks and it showed two pups. then five days before she whelped, I had x-rays done to confirm and to see what position and size the pups were so I would know what to expect.

Dark_Star · 05-16-2007, 02:50 PM

I called my vet today. They don't have the necessary equipment to do ultrasounds. So they referred me to one of those upper scale animal hospitals.

I just got off the phone with the tech there... 150$...!!!

Is that the price everywhere? Or are they like mechanics...? If you don't know anything about this kind of stuff, you get ripped off...???

If that's the going price, of course, I'll pay it... but I think I just might wait a couple of weeks longer... sheesh, I'm not even sure she's pregnant!!

You recently went through this with your lil'one, Dee. What kind of a procedure is it? How long does it take??

Dark_Star · 05-16-2007, 02:57 PM

How are your girls doing? I hope they're all O.K....!!!

sweetr72 · 05-16-2007, 03:38 PM

Hi again,

Here's an update on the ultrasound issue. After getting that "quote" for $150 from that fancy hospital I was telling you about, I started thinking: the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine from our local university has a "teaching hospital" in a small town about 40 miles from where I live. I called last night and guess what? $80...!! I think I'll drive the extra 30 miles...

Guess you gotta pay for all that high-tech equipment they have in those fancy places, huh...? ;-) Not to mention the designer cages and food bowls and the Feng Shui interior decoration and all the rest... LOL

Anyways, I made an appointment for June 1st. She should then be at 52 days, so I decided to get an X-ray instead.

Oh, I so hope she's pregnant...!!! And now, I'll have to wait till then to find out for sure...

kelkiss5 · 05-17-2007, 08:07 AM

Good luck dark star on the xray, im sure you cant wait till 1june. Keep us updated na.

I paid 148. for Dixie's ultrasound, a thorough check up and a puppy check up (i had TY with me). I think the test is about ninety by itself. They do the ultrasound just like on a pregnant lady. sometimes they clip belly hair, then put the gel on her and roll the little hand held thingy over her belly. someone holds her while they do it and it was very accurate. My regular vet didn't have the equipment either. i went to another vet. Then we went back five days before her due date for x-rays, top and side view so they could tell size of babies and if her pelvis was large enough to have them.. babies are doing great. i found out Monday that Little Fart had a prolapsed uterus. It would have ruptured had I not got her to vet just when I did.

My Gidget is expecting her first litter on the 14th of June. We are really looking forward to this litter and of course my little Joey is the Daddy. She is so big and has 2 weeks to go yet.

Just took this picture a few minutes ago.
