Question
Do dogs bleed after birth like women do?

Answer
Dear Bobbi,
Yes they do. just like women and they can bleed up to a couple of months, sometimes even more.  It should not, however be flowing out.  It should be only a little more than the blood you see when she is in heat.  It will be much darker, though.
