Puppies will be here soon! 🐾
Dr. Alvey is working closely with “Louisa Mae’s” family to ensure both mom and puppies will have a healthy and smooth delivery. At this visit, Dr. Alvey showed Louisa Mae’s family her pregnancy radiographs. Pregnancy radiographs are so important because it helps our team predict the number of puppies to expect and allows us to see if the puppies have normal spinal and skull development. Pregnancy radiographs also allow us to measure the width of the puppies’ skulls in comparison to the width of the mom’s hips. If the puppies are measuring large, our team can be prepared for a potential c-section if needed. Our ultimate goal is always a healthy mom and puppies and diagnostic tools are so helpful in helping us achieve this goal!
