Yorkie mom

Question
Our Yorkie Lilly gave birth to 4 pups this past Sunday. All appear to be healthy. Mom finally got up to go outside yesterday and was limping (holding up right rear leg). As she was urinating, I noticed some minor discharge. Should we be seriously concerned about either?

Answer
The discharge is normal. Did she just NOW get out of her puppy bed after all this time?? you can't allow her to do that. Watch her and if the limping continues have her checked. She has to get out of that bed to eat drink, move around and potty , She could develop complications if she doesn't
And check that temp, same time every day if she develops fever, panting heavily or is lethargic take her in asap
