My blue heeler delivered a litter of 6 healthy pups on 7/7. The puppies are all healthy and thriving.
Today was the first day I didn't stay with the dog and puppies all day, and a few minutes ago I came into the living room and found 2 puddles of vomit, poop in one spot and diarrhea (big puddle) in another spot. There's also mess on the couch in three spots; they're orangey-yellow, not brown like the diarrhea or yellow like the vomit.
This is totally out of character for her, and she was fine yesterday. She ate all her food when I fed her, she's had plenty of water, and is not acting sluggish.
Is it normal for a dog to get sick like this a few days after delivering, and to act oddly? It's 5:20 in the morning so I can't get her to the vet for several hours, and I don't know if I should separate her from the puppies long enough to take her in even when they open.
I spent 45 minutes looking for help online, nothing. I don't know what to think or do.
Help!
