You might also think about the teratogenic effects on any fetus that might be there..... it might require more than one x-ray to get a good set. Just wait until you know if she is pregnant and do the x-rays later (after she has delivered). ----- Original Message ----- From: "carolyn mckenna" <carolynmckenna@xxxxxxxxx> To: lonnagsd@xxxxxxx, "Showdogs" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "ABShowdogs" <ABShowDogs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2012 7:17:18 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: two questions Too close to her being in heat for OFA x-rays.

On the 28th of this month (May)�� I have both going in for OFA x-rays, if she is pregnant,�� (it will be too early to tell) ........... would you go ahead with the x-rays?? Once I had a female stay in heat for 30 days but she showed signs of being in heat, this one did not. They say if you raise dogs long enough you will always learn something new ...................... well I did tonight.
