Should I take her to a vet?? The pups are 6 weeks old now, any advice would be much apreciated , thanks

Probably a womb infection a shot of penicillen would most likely clear it.

I would take her to vets mate. You must think a fair bit of dog to breed off her and she give you a litter of pups whats a few ££ to make sure she right.

Imo It OK coming on here asking for advice if you know what problem is, no point taking advice on What a problem could be.

Vet's mate as jiggy stated sound like an infection. Shot of antibiotic should sort it ATB

it is common for a bitch to produce some fluid from her vagina whilst she is in milk or still feeding the pups, if it is dirty blood then take her the vets,especially if it smells,once she is away from the pups totally then she will tighten up naturally,most vets do not supply milk suppression tablets like they used to and so the whole process can take a little longer when left to nature, when you say she gets sick what does that mean ?? most bitches will regurgitate food if left near to the pups, my old both "MILEY" will sneak off and do this at every feeding if not watched closely,wolves do it in nature and so do wild dogs but if you mean she won't eat and is losing condition then get her looked at,worming may also help,hope you get her sorted,WM

Whippet 99 this is her first litter and at 5 years old I made sure she was wel proven [BANNED TEXT] I had her lined, thanks for the replies lads ?,

I take the bitch away from pups in the mornin to give her a breake from pups, I notice when I put her bk in with pups that's when she goes sick, bitch seems ok in her herself otherwise she is eating as normal,

[jiggy 3,209]

Is she regurgatating food for pups straight after she eats by any chance maybe shes not been sick.

watch she has not got one still in and it will turn into septasemia and kill her mate best going to vets and he will check her

If the pups are 6wks old then its hardly a case of 1 left oin her as i reckon the poison would have gone through her in a matter of days could just be an infection she has picked up and i reckon the geting sick part is for the pups sake.
