Hello. White gums is a very bad sign of something going seriously wrong. You need to see a veterinarian as soon as possible to see if Maggie needs immediate care. Dogs are normally pregnant an average of 62 days, so if she is truly a week overdo, she may need a C-section. I hope you can have her seen immediately & she does OK.
