Question
Hi my dog gave birth to 10 puppies 5 weeks ago.  Since birth she has had diarrhea.  Knowing what she is eating (picking up from the puppies) and eating is this normal?  In a day she will at least go 4-5 times a day and it's alot.

Answer
Hi. A dog normally gets diarrhea after giving birth, it's natures way of cleaning things out. At 5 weeks though, it should have cleared up. She may just need wormed, or something. i would let the vet have a look at her to figure out what's going on. Good luck!
