Willow has 6. I have sent the xrays to my repro vet yet. I will let you know when she thinks she is due. That means 18?
Her anal gland has been expressed. I tried but it wouldn't express for me. It is still swollen but not punctured. It will heal.

From repro vet:
I see 6 pups on this radiograph as well. I believe she is due as you expect on August 5th - this Thursday. Due to her size and groaning with 6 pups present, I would not be surprised by August 4th either.
I am glad the anal gland was not too much of an issue.
Good luck!

From me: We are on watch despite the dates She is not happy with me picking her up and I will not be taking temperatures as I assume she is just too sore there. So, we will watch for other signs.
