Have only encountered loose stools on the day of whelping for only one day with a pregnant Mom. Has the vet ruled out parasites being the cause? Dormant roundworms become activated during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. Don't think I would give a fried egg. I would feed just boiled chicken (easy to digest) and white rice (firms up the stool). I would also put her on Pedialyte to restore the electrolyte balance and give her some Benebac (beneficial bacteria - sold in tubes at pet stores). I would definitely have a fecal test done for worms, coccidia, giardia - normal stomach upset doesn't last this long. I would be concerned for any dog, but especially for one that is pregnant.
