A pregnant dog can have an X-ray at a veterinary hospital after 45 days, by which point the X-ray can show the puppies’ health, their number, and the due date. During pregnancy the owner should strictly manage the dog’s diet, providing ample nutrition and especially enough calcium, since many mothers become calcium-deficient after birth. Also, never give medication casually during pregnancy, as it can harm the fetuses and cause deformities.
