My yorkie is a little over a year old and she just had her first litter, had 2 puppies wednesday. Today her stool was completely black on the bottom half, black black, which I know indicates bleeding somewhere. Is this normal after dogs have puppies or is this an emergency. I cannot get ahold of her vet until Monday but I am really worried. Don't want anything happening to her, she's mommy's little baby.

I've been giving her milk since the puppies have been born so she'll get some extra calcium and buying her soft mushy food cause she doesn't want to eat dry dog food now. She isn't getting much exercise because she doesn't want to leave her babies unless it's just to get up and go to the bathroom. I've never had a dog that had pups before. Infact, I didn't even realize she was actually pregnant until like a week before she popped them out. If I had known, I would have gotten her on some prenatal vitamins but where I didn't know, she didn't get any.

Other than the bowel issue, she seems to be doing well.
