Don't think there should be any blood at this stage! Clear discharge only. I would get her to the vets asap.

If mine had been bleeding for six days i'd be going nuts!! Get her to the vets NOW!

just rang her ,her bitch is doing fine ,shes been to vets and he tod her not to worry its just the plug coming away !! dogs at day 60 so its not going to be long now !! she said her temp is still up and down and shes eating very well still xxx

Hi White Lilly, Can she still see  the pups moving? I think that maybe she should see another vet , just to be on the safe side.

i will ask her ,she hasnt said anything x

sorry i havnt updated about puppies ....well thay are 5days old she had 6 1st 1 was still born and 2days ago 2 of them died ,my friend thinks she has lay on them ,she checked them only 40mins before he found them deid !!! the others are doing well xx

Good to hear she has some puppies doing well - your friend should try to avoid leaving them at all for longer than a rush to the loo if it's possible - unfortunately these tragedies do happen. I remember with my litter last year I actually shut Ellie out of the room they were in if I wanted to have a shower - with the heat pads they weren't going to come to any harm from having 20 minutes away from her, and I didn't dare risk having her lie on them, though she was a super mum and hopefully would not have.

hi lucydog ,im the same i dont leave my pups alone , ive told her this but its all fell on deaf ears !!!! so i not be teling her anything eles !!! ive tired to help with advise when shes asked for it but there some ppl you carnt help :( xx

Im glad all her pups are ok, i didnt leave mine for 2 weeks without someone in the room - silly I know.. In a way I may have done a bit more harm than good being there because it was my bitches first litter and she really got disturbed when someone else was in the room (too distracted to focus on pups, thought cause i was watching her she was doing something wrong) so i set up a webcam from my laptop and watched it on my computer.

I had to run in a few times cause she had sat on them.. but i put pig rails around the edges of the whelping box and never had that issue again.. they just rolled to the edge of the box and abbie couldnt squash cause the rails were in the way
