Yep, false preg is possible. However, my vet won't do an ultrasound before 32 days, especially with GSD's as the babies can be up high. An x-ray can be done after 58 days, I believe. It will pick up the little spines. May not get all of them, as I have found out, but will tell you if there are babies in there. Just an idea.

It's possible for them to be wrong...depends on TIMING, the expertise of he vet & the equipment. See if she has milk in a little bit.... (I don't x-ray or ultrasound. I want a momma-to-be doing the doggie quivalent of laying around eating bon-bons, lol! and NOT at the vets' where he ould be exposed to a sick dog..God forbid!) One thing is for sure...she's either in whelp or not and time will tell...

I have a question for the knowledge base here on the ist. Have you ever bred a bitch and had her ultrasounded and the vet said no pups" but she was in whelp and did have pups? I bred one of my girls n ov. and we had several great ties, I had her ultrasounded at approx 25 ays nd the vet didn't see anything. But she looks like she's getting bigger, nd I haven't changed her diet. We are about 6 1/2 weeks from the reeding ates. Is she just getting fat? Or should I think about dusting off the helping box?
