Can I give flea meds to a pregnant dog? When to X-ray for puppies?

Question

Two questions. Can I give Mía her flea meds (revolution topical) if she’s pregnant? Mia and Asher tied twice, I was there both times, the first tied on March 6th and the second time was the 7th, when should I take her into the vet to get an X-ray of her belly to see if she’s pregnant? I know the X-ray is optional but for her and the puppies health, I want to know how many puppies she needs to give birth to and when to know when she is ready to give birth. Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 25 lbs

It is best to wait until about 45 days of pregnancy to get an x-ray. That is when the skeletons will be formed enough to show up on the x-rays. Yes, Revolution is safe for use in pregnant dogs. Good questions!
