懷孕第一部分 - X-Ray
X光片🩻 是診斷懷孕的絕佳工具。通常，胎兒的骨骼鈣化最早在大約配種後的 38-40 天開始，因此在此之前，X光片可能無法檢測到懷孕。
-X光片的優點是能夠提供-：
• 胎兒的數量
• 胎兒的大小
• 任何可能阻礙母犬或母貓自然分娩的胎兒結構異常
-X光片的局限性是無法提供-：
• 預估懷孕週齡
• 胎兒的存活狀況（骨骼已鈣化的胎兒不代表是活著的）
幸運的是，我們可以利用超音波等其他工具來克服這些局限性。
在這個案例中，X光片顯示有兩隻胎兒 🚼🚼，而這些是牠們出生後與媽媽的照片 😻。
Part 1 Pregnancy - Radiograph
Radiography 🩻 is an excellent tool to reveal pregnancy. Generally, calcification of fetal bone begins as early as 38-40days post-breeding therefore pregnancy might not be detectable by radiograph before that.
🆗Radiograph provides information such as:
--Number of litters
--Litter size
--Any conformational abnormality that will prevent the queen having a natural birth.
❎However it doesn’t provide information such as:
--Estimated gestation age
-- Viability of the foetus (calcified foetus doesn’t mean the foetus is alive)
Luckily we have different tools such as ultrasound to overcome these limitations.
In this case, there are 2 foetus 🚼🚼 on the X-ray and these are the pictures of them with the mother 😻
