Usually, when the dog has puppies and the puppy passes away, it will continue to produce milk for at least 2 weeks or so, but just like a human mother, if the mother continues to eat more than usual, will still produce milk but at the same time if the puppy that passed away, will not be suckling the milk so therefore, the milk will go away. It takes a while for the body to realize that the puppy is gone and it will stop producing milk because there's no stimulation such as suckling. So just try to give the dog less food but 3 times a day, like usual and it will go away by itself. Hope this helps!

Yes it will dry up on its own, but it may take a couple weeks. Her teats will still swell and fill up with milk in the next day or so, that's normal, but if you leave it alone, nature will take care of the rest.

depending on how much she has, it should dry up, but it may get hard inwhich case you should massage it to break up the clumps and excrete the milk, she can get sick if the milk is left.
You can talk to your vet about furosemide that will dry up her milk.

It should dry up on its own....It's like humans, when the milk isn't needed it dries up.

It will but you have to cut back her food and water.
