Hello I need HELP.

Question
I have a Chihuahua and she gave birth to 3 puppys yesterday, None of them survived. I believe they were dead inside her stomach because as she pushed them out they were not moving but I would like to know is that normal for all her puppys to die? Also she is having some discharge from her vagina now. What should I do?

Answer
Hi Jennifer

If the entire litter died I would suspect a bacterial infection.  Either a STI like Brucellios which can be contracted from the male.

I would take her to the vet for a shot of oxytocin to clean out her system and a dose of amoxicillian to clean up any infection that she may be carrying.

Good luck
