Never allowed my dogs to have it before and they never had this problem. NOW, last night I mentioned I gave her 6 pieces of kibble. Only very small diarrhea last night. Do you think I should give her more? Could that be slowing it down?
Never re-introduce kibble or regular diet until diarreah is under control. The diarreah occurring 4 days after whelp & ingesting placenta is a bit unusual. Usually happens 24 hours after.......Anemia is pretty common after whelp......it doesn't always happen, but when it does it's usually a low grade.
