Dog gave birth a month ago and still has blood
Dog gave birth a month ago and still has blood may indicate an issue with a uterine infection or the size of the puppies causing tears in the dog's birth canal, leading to continuous bleeding after delivery. This situation is serious, so it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital as soon as possible for inspection and determine the specific cause of the problem before treating it. In addition, during the dog's postpartum period, the owner needs to pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and preventing uterine inflammation in dogs.
- Uterine Infection
During the dog's postpartum period, if proper hygiene is not maintained, it is easy for the dog's uterus to become infected and inflamed. Therefore, if conditions permit, a cytological examination of the dog's secretions can be performed. If there are obvious bacteria and neutrophils present, it can be determined that there is a uterine infection. For uterine infections, conservative treatment recommendations include using antibiotics, as well as bladder irrigation and the administration of antibiotics.
- Reproductive Tract Disease
When the puppies are too large, they may tear the dog's birth canal during delivery, causing the dog to still not recover one month later. If this is the case, the owner is advised to give the dog some anti-inflammatory drugs, and in severe cases, the dog may need to be treated with intravenous fluids at the pet hospital.
Note: Clinically, if the owner does not intend to continue breeding the dog, it is usually recommended to undergo a spay or neuter surgery, which can fundamentally solve the problem of uterine pyelonephritis.
