Thank you so... very much for replying!!!
I waited & watched for 2 whole days hoping someone would reply & offer me some sort of help, and called the vet twice too. The vet's kept telling me they didn't know why this would be happening and really didn't seem to act all that concerned... I guess because it was fresh red blood & not black or old... just kept doing the "well you'll have to bring her in & let us take a look" routine. Well I just put out over $500 in vet bills over the last 2 weeks, and really didn't want to go that route unless it was absolutely needed.
So I began doing my own research on line & found out it could be caused by several scenerios, none of which were vey serious & none that could be cured by a vet visit.
1~ birthing canal trauma due to:
.... a) her extra large puppy getting stuck for a long period of time
.... b) me pulling a bit too hard to get puppy un-stuck
2~ broken blood vessel from hard birthing or jumping on/off high surface.
3~ or a slight overdose of oxytocin (sp?)
In all cases, the red blood doesn't begin to appear until at least a week after birthing, and unless she is actually hemoraging a great deal there is nothing that can really be done except rest & time to heal.
It is also recomended she have a break from breeding for her next heat & not be bred again until the following one... which I was planning on doing anyway.
I'm happy to say it has now reduced back down to a light spotting & is clearing it self up. Still red in color, but barely enough to even notice anymore. If it had gotten any worse, or she began to act abnormal I most certainly was taking her in, but like I said... she seemed quite fine otherwise.
I truly do thank you for replying... even if you didn't know it was still very nice of you to take the time out for Lilly & me
