Worried Abougt Giving My Pregnant Bitch An X- Ray? General Dog Discussions
My Lillte lady is due to pup (or pop lol) this weekend and the vet has suggested givig her an x- ray to be sure of how many she is having as she is very large and it's her 1st litter. I have always known x-rays to be bad for pregnant women so why would it be different for my dog? I would prefer her to be scanned instead but was wondering if anyone had any experience with them having X- Rays. Also would she have to be sedated for the X- Ray?Sensable advice please I'm just curious. ThanksHard Times who in the hell do you think you are giving me abuse I have thought long and hard about breeding from my bitch as I want one of her puppys to carry on the line I am not some back yard breeder we are haveing her fixed after this litter not that it is any comcern of yours.I was simply asking because I have always READ (doing reasearch before breeding) that vets scan the bitch not X- ray even my friend who is a VET thought it was strange as he has always opted to scan.So please take your idiotic opinions and waste them elsewhere Asshole!@ my: Thanks for the info I did all my reasearch through books rather than the net as I've had to have it fixed (dogs aye lol).When I saw the vet he said my dog (she is a English Bull Terrier) is one of the few that may have a difficut birth as he birthing canal is quite narrow. When my friend saw her he said going on her size he would hope that she is having a large litter rather than large puppys as she will need a C section. The vets are all poised and at the ready just in case.I think I'll pop her in tomorrow and get it done. Thanks for the info xxHi Magy yes definatly I do need to know how many are in there so I know if she is going to have a relitvely easy birth as it's her 1st. I was really just wondering if she was as at risk as we humans are with having x- rays whilst pregnant. As I was just curious afer all you don't find many dr's advising fully term woman to have x -rays do you? I know it's different in dogs.As i said I'll pop her in tomorrow.Emily S: This site isn't a chat room it is a Place to ask and answer questions and descover new things!
