Ron, there are a couple of things you need to watch out for at this time. You need to watch out for mastitis, since Gracie has no pups to nurse. Her teats could become engorged and an infection set in. Also, a discharge from her vulva is normal for some time (up to a couple of weeks) after giving birth but you should check to make sure it's not smelly. That would be a sign of an infection.
The best thing to do at this time is to take her in to your vet and have her checked. He/she could give you further advice on what to watch out for and check her present state of health. |
