She just finished labor and it’s been a couple days why is she still pushing and bleeding a dark discharge


It's not unusual for dogs to experience some discharge after giving birth. However, if you notice dark discharge along with continued pushing, it could indicate a few potential issues. One possibility is that there might be retained placenta or fetal material, which can lead to infection if not promptly addressed. Another concern could be metritis, which is an inflammation of the uterus and can also cause dark discharge and discomfort.
Given the symptoms you're observing, it's crucial to have your dog examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. The vet can perform an ultrasound to check for any retained material and provide the necessary treatment to prevent complications. In the meantime, make sure she is in a comfortable and clean environment, and keep an eye on any changes in her behavior, appetite, or energy levels.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
