[BluSteel CaneCorso]

Ok can you tell I am getting excited?  LOL  I built the whelping pen and did not realize the others were NOT 8 foot long!  LOL  I guess they were 6x4 but this one is now 8x4.  I put it in my dinning room this time and the wire pen I have wraped around it perfectly, just need to get a couple whatchmacallits for the end to secure it, gate will be wonderful!

Is it Miss Piggy??? LOL
How many should I expect?  I guess 10.

[BluSteel CaneCorso]

Well Magic always looked like she was going to bust, she is a smaller dog.  If you look at Nika from above she barely looks pregnant so it is real hard to guess.  Also she still has 9-11 days of growing!

She is pretty big, so it can be deceiving! I guess 10, if I know Jordi !!!! Plus milk bags are pretty full for a week and a half left. Go get an x ray, then you'll know what to expect!! Lee

[BluSteel CaneCorso]

I asked the vet about that today, she said it can show the pups but not all of them so there really is no point.  For example she said the looked at a dog and one of the vets said she saw 3 pups, one vet said she saw a 4th head but could not find the body so they were expecting 4 pups.  She had 8 so yeah what's the point.  If it were acurate I would do it for sure.  Just have to wait.

[turkalurk]

Well I am 2 for 2 on my last two xrays. I would rather know a head of time if I was in for 10-14 pups, as opposed to 6 or 7. Trust me, if you wait til around 53-55 days, then all the bones will show up. You may miss one or two, but atleast you will have an idea of what to expect. I do all my bitches, and have only been really wrong once. Canyon had 16, I could only count 11 on the xray. But overall I am satisfied with theoutcomes. Something to think about. Also, not all Vets are real good ones!!!! Good luck, Lee

If you wait till around day 63, you'll know the number for sure. No need for an x-ray. They will come out for sure
I never do x-ray or ultrasound. I just like surprices

[BluSteel CaneCorso]

Well I like surprises also but with this being her first litter I just worry about things going wrong, will they all come out ok, what if one is stuck, you know just the normal worries.  I might have it done then a couple days before she is due.

[canecorsonancy]

She will be just fine. Just tell your vet that you have a delivery coming so that he is available in case of a problem. But why should there be a problem? She's a Magic puppy. Those pups will just fall out without a problem
