Congratulations! Here is a website link with tons of suggestions on how to care for Nova during her pregnancy. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1459 She should be on puppy food from now until the puppies are completely weaned as well. The normal gestation period is 58-72 days but 65 days on average. Signs of trouble include black or green discharge or respiratory distress. I would also recommend having an ER vet on hand in case she does need to have a C- section or if any complications arise. Best wishes with Nova and I hope that her pregnancy goes smoothly. Take care.
