| Babies are 3wks old mom started bleeding my babies were born 8-2 (they are 3 weeks old today) mom bled "normal" for about a week and stopped, she started discharging today a bloody show dark in color but it looks like she did when she gave birth. is this normal? she has been acting normal, but has been spending time cooling her teats on the hard wood floor often. could this be linked?

| It is perfectly normal for your female to have this discharge for several weeks after whelping. It may go and come. You just need to watch and make sure that it isn't really heavy or foul smelling. |

| Did she have a Oxcytocin injection 12-24 hours after she whelped her pups? As Bama said watch for foul smelling odor....otherwise as in women, bleeding is normal.

| I would suggest checking her temperature to rule out infection first and foremost. Then if all is normal there, I would agree with the other's. |

| You're absolutely right. It slipped my mind, but taking mom's temp and weighing her once a day and pups twice a day is something I do automatically over the next couple of months. Just to make sure pups are gaining and withholding their own body temp and mom isn't loosing weight or has a temp.
