Hey everyone! I'm new here.
I was walking my dog this morning when I saw a loose beagle. She was a bit shy at first but when I tossed her a treat, she came a bit closer and allowed me to pet her. She was very dirty and covered in fleas and she looked a bit sick. I went home to put my dog back in the yard and then me and my mom rushed the beagle to the vet. Our veterinarian gave her a bath, and checked her for a microchip (none) and since she didn't have a collar, I assume she's a stray even though I'm going to put up posters. The surprising news: this beagle is app. 6-7 weeks pregnant. I never noticed through all the excitement. Her teats, now that I'm looking closer, are pretty big (more in the back and a bit less in the front) and she's got a distinct lump on one side. Right now she's in the house with me, and is actually pretty calm and friendly, although still a bit shy.
I'm guessing maybe she was abandoned because she was pregnant.
Anyway, any tips would be great. My sister has a pregnant basset hound right now, around 5 weeks pregnant. The beagle (which I decided to name Bella) has already gotten friendly with our basset. They're sharing the same puppy food. I know what to do, but any more advice would be great.
