Question

My chihuahua gave birth 2 days ago, she has had bad diarrhea ever since. Is this normal?

Answer 1

These may be leftover puppies that didn't make it through the gestation period.  It happens more that you think.

Answer 2

it is my dog had the same thing for over two weeks after her pups came. give her some food with fiber in it keep lots of water around and give her some yogurt to help her tummy settle, that should help

Answer 3

yes it is keep her plenty of food hard food for awhile then go back to soft or mix it and make sure she gets lots of water so she dont get dehydrated, dont worry its natural

Answer 4

hi, I'm a dog trainer by profession. that is normal. for weeks alot of the food she has taken in went to the pups. however she is still lactating and that takes alot of fluid and nutrients. you need to make sure she is eating enough good quality food and drinking plenty of water. if she starts to not want to eat or drink, of the diarrhea lasts longer than 11 or 12 days, call your vet for advice. hope this helps, brad  

Answer 5

Make sure your dog has supplements, no change in diet, watch her water intake for dehydration..call your vet..Hope she will be okay.
