Learning With My Pregnant Dog…… Ultrasonography

It has been a while since last time I came here to tell you about my little pregnant dog. She is OK and almost “there”. Sometimes I believe I am more anxious and afraid than she is, but anyway, I have learnt a lot during these last days and I will be sharing most of them here with you all so in case you have same experience in the future, you have more information than I had.

Regarding the ultrasonography…………….. choose a Veterinarian Clinic which has the best in terms of equipments. It is lack of time to insist in doing several exams if the equipment is not very good. The information will not be precise and may lead you to huge mistakes that might mean lose a puppy. Also, choose a professional who is specialist in doing these exams. It is different when you have a veterinarian who attends clinically most part of the day and once in a while realizes and exam, from when you have a veterinarian who indicates you an specialist who does some specific exams (such as the ultrasonography) through all the day. You see, I am not talking about changing your veterinarian, but having here by your side indicating the best you’re your lovely dos. The specialist has a developed eye to interpret and diagnose the images that come from the exam that some times your vet may not have because this is not he/she day by day. In other words, CHOOSE ALWAYS THE BEST. In my case, my final solution was to ask to a specialist to come to my home with her equipments and guess what…………..there were 08 puppies (instead of 5 as the previous exams had indicated) and I could really see the all skeleton of each puppy as well as their heart bit (very clearly). In addition to be touching and amazing, imagine what could have happened if I continued insisting with that old fashioned equipment and went to the birth time thinking about 5 while they are 8……….

Take a look on the difference of the images (both taken between the 35 and 40 days of pregnancy). Picture one, the first exam (with no official written report)…Picture two, the second exam realized only two days after the first (and with a detailed official report that included, but was not limited to the size of each puppy, the size of their skull, their mobility, their heart bit, uterine channel dilatation and estimated birth date. You see what I mean………………. CHOOSE THE BEST FOR YOUR LOVELY DOG!!! THEY DESERVE IT AND WOULD DO THE SAME FOR YOU.
