I understand your concern about stressing her, but the risks of not taking her outweigh the risks of stress in this case.
Keep us posted. We will be worrying with you.

I'm going to call some places today and see about getting an ultrasound. I'll probably try taking her somewhere else, I'm just so afraid of stressing her out. Taking her the other day and getting the xray was traumatizing. Plus I'm in eastern PA, and it's COLD here. Poor girl...
tunes - She was 560 g shortly after giving birth before. I (irresponsibly) had not weighed her more recently, but she was much more before her first pregnancy. I assume this is part of the problem. She was not back up to a healthy weight before getting pregnant again. My estimated time of conception is about 2 months after, shortly after I removed her kits. This is a completely unexpected pregnancy. She was in a run, and the hole had a metal wire cover over it, which she somehow got off. Thankfully she was wearing a collar, but the male got to her and must have gotten her pregnant in that one night.
chinclub - her kits were weaned in mid/late october.
menagerie - I did have an xray done. It didn't show anything, and the vet said that would be because she isn't far enough along. The xray only shows if the bones have begun to mineralize. I asked about an ultrasound, but he said he did not recommend it.
No, I didn't bring her along to the Ryerson's. I just described to them what was happening. And the first vet I took her to was an emergency vet. The second was the vet I normally take my chins to, and they're usually really good.
