Did you look around the vacant house? Any signs of her litter anywhere? Dug out holes, puppy poop or hers....... |

...If you go back to that house, just look around the yard and it should be obvious if a pit lived there. There should be a path at the fence line and maybe a hole or two in the yard. It may well be that the owners moved and abandoned her so she may need a new home. |

Thank you all SO much
! I'm going to have her scanned tomorrow (the Humane Ass'n says they don't have a tech available to scan her today) so we'll scan her Sunday.
Mardelin/Jim...how do I try to express milk, just in case - just w/ gentle pressure (downward?)?
I drove by that house today, but was by myself...and a little nervous...so I took down the Agent's phone and am going to ask if house is empty for sure...if yes, then I'm heading over again today for a SNOOP.
I think wounds are infected - UPDATE post/pics following...
