I've moved this to Medical because we found out today that Mia is definitely pregnant.
Mia's rad
That is a PDF file of a Word document containing my best shot at her rad.
In the lower center of the picture, you can see one head, and one spine.
The vet says her pelvic bones are not fused; the separation is clear. She can't speak to the ligaments' condition, though. We **think** she's delivered young before but we don't know. I don't like the idea of one big baby. I really wish it was two or three smaller ones (Jenn and StF, don't shoot me. ;-)
For those of you with pregnancy and delivery experience -- can you tell about how far along this little baby is? When can we (roughly) expect her to deliver if you can tell?
The best guess of someone(s) experienced will give us an idea of how to plan for her fostering, postdelivery care, who's closest to the ER vet if she needs a C-section, etc.
Thank you!!

The ER vet by us I **think** could do a C-section. They certainly are not an exotics specialty ER, though.
I just really want to have *some* idea of how far along she might be before hitting the road. I just don't want her to have her baby on 85 somewhere. StF, what do you think?

Wow, nice picture. The position looks so funny compared to a human baby, but I know they're uterus is so different from ours. Remember that breeder who had the Cooper & Schiller diagrams and xrays on his site for so long? I went to go find the one of the pregnant sow there to compare, and it's finally taken down.
I searched and searched for another baby in there in vain. I know your vet had a much better view. Poor baby.

It's up to you all. If you're sure she would be ok travelling...
Look at that little spine! It's all snakey-like. It's too bad you can't tell on a GP, like a human, by measuring to tell how far along they are.
T and I also have a sneaking suspicion that Nala is pregnant too.

Should I put a pigloo in her enclosure? Just in case she's close or will be close to delivery soon? I will be baby proofing the cage in the next day or so as well. I don't think she's that close but I'd rather be safe than sorry! I know how the little guys can zoom.

I believe I have enough scrap coroplast to do the baby proofing. I also have that rainbow colored play pen I could wrap around the coro between that and the cubes, like I did with the Nov 9 babies (Turco, Miikka and Marleau).
