My husky had just had puppies a few days ago and I was told she needed to go to the vet to make sure she had delivered all of them she only had two puppies and never knew she was pregnant so I was just wondering what steps I need to go in to make sure she's healthy

Just make an appointment to have Nala seen by a vet and be sure to bring her puppies with you. The puppies cannot be left alone. The vet can do a physical an exam and x-rays to make sure she has delivered all the puppies. If you can, I would have her seen tomorrow.
