We took in Maisy

Because her owner's boyfriend was going to kill her. We're told she got pregnant 3 months ago (fuzzy math, I hope) probably by a chow. I really only know she is a basset & very pregnant.

I'm tkaing her to my vet to make sure mom & the pups are healthy etc., but I haven't had a pregnant dog in 25 years and am very, very nervous.

What are any red flags I should look for? What supplies should I have on hand? How do I make a new dog feel comfortable at such a time?

And any other advice you can give.

Thanks, Miriam. I am hoping to find someone who has been through this to help me out. I'll also feel better after I can get her to the vet on Tuesday. The article you cited looks good - thanks for posting it.

Update!!!

Maisy, our mama, appears to be giving birth this afternoon. I confess that I am relieved she's doing it with the woman who got her out of the bad situation. She knows far more about it than I do.

Now I am praying that the pups & mom are all OK.
