Is my cat pregnant and if she Is how far along do you think she is.
Many vets do not take into consideration the spaying past the first three weeks of pregnancy. What I see in that picture is a cat next to giving birth.How old is your cat? Do you want kittens? An early spay before the halfway point is an option.
Is an x-ray safe for kittens? Wouldn't an ultrasound scan be safer?A vet can give you an estimated gestational age of the kittens with an x-ray.
I guess it depends on the country. And I consider myself lucky, because, generally speaking, both an x-ray and an ultrasound can be free of charge when done for a quick check (not for diagnosis, and no report given) at the places where I go.Most vets can do an X-ray, and it tends to be less expensive than ultrasound. Many vets don't do ultrasound.
Yes, it definitely depends on the country and also the local area. I am in the US and my local vet only does X-rays for pregnant cats. They have an ultrasound machine but don't use it for pregnancy diagnosis, so when I want an ultrasound, I have to drive another hour away and pay extra for a specialist vet.I guess it depends on the country.
