husky health issues

Question
my husky bitch has lost a lot of weight after giving birth to 9 healthy pups she also has a case of diarrhea. i was wondering if you had any advice on the matter.
regards, martin.

Answer
Sounds very normal. They generally do this because of the stress on their bodies because of feeding the puppies along with hormone changes (Her fur should start falling out compleatly soon). Just feed her a couple more feedings a day, de-worm her because that can cause weightloss as well and they can pick up worms ANYWHERE.

 If you find anything you really worry about (feaver, enemia ect) call your vet immediatly because she can develop eclampsia with this many puppies easly. Never try to treat this yourself.
