Question
So our dog is giving birth but she bleeds between having the last two puppies. what are we supposed to do??? please answer as soon as possible! One puppy has died...

Answer
Hi Shaylee

I need a little more information.

How long between births?  Is she straining? Was she given anything? What breed of dog? Where the pups born in a sack or dry birth?  

Bleeding after whelping a pup is normal, it's the placenta and afterbirth of the pup and/or the onset of another.
