I NEVER x-ray a pregnant bitch unless I have an emergency. Here's something interesting that was published in the AKC gazette 2001: _http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/documents/xrayingpregnantbitches.pdf_ (http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/documents/xrayingpregnantbitches.pdf) We have a breed prone to hemagisacrcoma...so once I read that years ago, I stopped.
