Purchase the book, "The Whelping and Rearing of Puppies", by Muriel P.Lee.....that has probably just about everything you are going to need to know...equipment, set up, how to tube feed, dealing with problems with the babies, problems with the dam, etc.....Please know how to tube feed these babies in the event you need to do it....it is the difference between life and death in babies that can not, or not able to nurse....this is a skill you MUST have!

I also put my all my breeding females on Royal Canin HT 42d, from the first day of estrus thru day 42 of pregnancy.

I know it is a little late to ask but you need to be prepared.
How much does your little girl weigh? I hope she is at least 5 lbs. or there is concern about more complications.

Bonnie weighs 8 lbs, Clyde is 6.5 pounds. We are hoping she is pregnant. I have compiled a list to buy including book by Muriel Lee.

Found them both on Barnes and Noble cheaper than on Amazon. Since not sure about Bonnie yet they are in shopping bag that they will hold for 90 days.
