Question
hi wonder if U can help my rough collie had a litter of five,four days ago but her bleeding is pretty heavy is this normal and how long will she bleed for, her appetite is normal and is drinking plenty
than

Answer
Some dogs bleed for a few weeks. Some will bleed heavily for a few days to a week, then hardly anything the next week. If she's eating, drinking, taking care of her pups, then I'd say she's ok. You may want to take her to the vet to make sure she doesn't have a puppy or placenta still in there just to be on the safe side.
