ANSWER: What should you do? It's a little late now.

She is probably pregnant, and everything may work out okay, but... Bitches when bred too young are "babies" themselves, and often not mentally ready to be mothers. Be prepared to have to step in and clean the puppies and possibly supplement them if necessary.

Answer
Gestation averages 61-63 days, but some can whelp earlier, and some later.

Things can go wrong, so keep in touch with your veterinarian and let him know that your dog is expecting.
