Pregnant Boston Terrier

Question
Hello,

I believe my Boston Terrier is pregnant and will be scheduling an xray next week to see how many puppies she'll be having and the size of them however I have a question.  When my other dog was pregnant I could feel the puppies in her belly but with my Precious, I can't.  Her first breeding was 12/15/2010.  When should I be able to feel them?

Answer
Hi April

Save your money for a few more weeks. You won't be able to see pups on the x-rays until they are 50 days old, that's when their bones calcify.  

If she's carrying a small litter you many not feel them for a few more weeks.

Good luck
