Question
hi ma dog just had a litter of puppies about four days ago and is still discharging this dark blood from her vagina i don't know what to do  

Answer
Hi Daniel

What is the breed and how many pups did she have?  Some larger breeds with bigger litters can still spot for up to 3 or 4 weeks after the pups are born as the uterus contracts back to size and cleans itself out.

If there is a lot of blood and it's clotting, you may want to take her to the vet for a shot of oxytocin.

Good luck
