Question
Hello there,

My Lola is pregnant and 4 days ago she started bleeding, but has not had any babies yet. She is acting normal. I can feel at least one big well what feels big baby could be 2 for all I know in her, but doesnt move at all. Should I be worried?

Thank you,
Sarah  

Answer
She needs a vet pronto.  A litter usually consist of 12 babies (average) but some litters are small, perhaps having just 6 pups, but just one big pup would not be common. Regardless of these facts, the bleeding could me trouble and if not taken care of you can lose Lola and her pups. If you need a vet please let me know.
