Answer
Hi Shazznay

Well if you can't get her x-rayed, you'll just have to wait and see what happens on or around the 11th of October.

Do you know what your vet gave to your female?  And does he guarantee his work?  It is really something you need to discuss with him.  Depending on what he gave her and the dosage, it may not have aborted the pups but would cause some health issues.

Good luck
