QuestionOur standard poodle gave birth to a litter one week ago. She is doing well nursing and caring for the pups. However, she has had a difficult time holding her bladder and she has been vomiting once or twice a day. She does not have a fever and has been active between nursing. We have been feeding her four meals a day and she is always ravenous.
AnswerIn my experience with my boxers we would have accidents in the house after pups and vomiting. the vet said this was normal but i would have to say that if it continues to take her for a checkup or if she stops eating. feeding the 4 small meals a day is a good idea and if she still seems hungry feed her more. it takes alot out of a female to give birth and nurse pups. i always give my dogs vitamin c that you can get from walmart. this seemed to give them more energy and make them feel better overall. i do alot of home remidies with my dogs instead of taking them to the vet everytime. i dont think they need medicine everytime they arent feeling right. as long as she doesnt have a fever or if she doesnt stop eating then i would just keep an eye on her. i hope this helps and good luck with your pups. feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
