pregnant stray

Just make her comfortable. When the time comes, she will know what to do. I would take her to the vet and get her and the puppies checked out after she delivers and definitely have the mom spayed.

Make sure you're feeding her a high quality puppy food and make sure you are prepared if she has to have an emergency c-section at the vets!!! I hope all goes well make sure you post pics. Is she due soon? What breed is she? I agree have her spayed and the pups fixed as well before adopting them out.

i agree with spaying and neutering most definately, just wish others would as well as looking after their animals. She looks like she is not too far off, i would hazard a guess at a couple of weeks, and as far as breed looks like a black lab crossed with possibly a husky we have her son as she dropped it off last year... as to what the father of the litter is we have no idea. Unfortunately we will have to pass the puppies onto a rescue group which will be a no kill shelter as we do not have the room.

Just make sure she has food and water available, and you might want to get a box ready with some old soft blankets or towels that she can use for a whelping box.
