 Oh the poor girl. :oops: :oops: I can sympathize with how she feels. My last son was 10 lb and 22 inches long. 8O 8O Not much different from my second who was 9 lbs and just shy of 24 inches. :roll: :roll:

Let's see if I can figure out how to post the sonogram picture of the puppies. I am wishing from a large and healthy litter. Keeping my figures crossed for you Kim. I wish that I was closer to help out!!

 I would not rely too much on sonograms for mastini as it is known that in most large breeds that many puppies actually are under the ribcage and hard to spot with Sonogram

Though its possible to count pups under xray after 50 /55 days pregnant which might be useful to know in case she has only 2 and then you can have vet on standby for c section or if she is has a bellyful then its more likely she do it all herself

Hope this helps its some info i found on a site the other day but i forget the name LOL old age an all
Good Luck

 I only do the sonogram because it is included by the vet clinic in the breeding and it confirms pregnancy. It's also something to do to get out of the house. I sure don't put any kind of faith in it's accuracy as far as head count. I just thought it was neat that they sent me a pix this time and thought that since it was Jake's first litter, that Nydia might like to have a copy of it.
We DID x-ray on Onyx for her last litter. Not too helpful. The vet said 8, I thought i saw 9, and she actually had 12. She did fine with natural delivery last time so I am going to let her try having this litter naturally as well. She's a big girl and can hide pups under her ribcage. That is why they didn't show up last time. Not to mention the vet clinic doesn't have a portable x-ray machine and hefting her squirming 155+ lb butt up on the x-ray table is challenging. They have teased me that they are going to buy a car engine hoist for when I bring my dogs in to have anything done.
