Hmmm, we had x-rays and ultra sound done. You could see the pups on both the
x-ray and the ultra sound.

I agree with you on bird of prey. Living on the Mississippi River we have all kinds of birds that feed on small animals....plus other little critters that roam the country side. We keep a very close eye on our yorkies when they go outside. We have a wood privacy fence around the back yard and that helps keep out the majority of outsiders. Of course the eagles and the hawks like little things and we have to keep a constant eye out for them. This past weekend we had the yearly migration of pelicans going north. They stayed for several days and then left. They were so pretty.

I know you can see the pups but the x-ray can harm the pups because they are not developed enough...... that is why you should not x-ray unless she is at the last stage.

Good Luck and keep us updated!

Well we are on day 52 now....patiently awaiting the birth of Sophies pups. I have a whelping box and whelping kit ready. Just can't find the hemostats....will something else due????? Sophie is slowing down alot and does waddle around. She is so cute to watch. I posted some pictures of her on the Photo Gallery....

Update. We had four puppies tonight...20 April 2006. We have 3 females and 1 male. They all weigh around 5 oz. We started having contractions around 9PM and had our first puppie at 1:00 am another at 1:20 am, the third at 2:30 am and the fourth at 3:15 am (all central time) All are doing great, nursing and Sophie is being a great mother.
