True - but being that they were born so far apart, to me is reason for concern and should be checked just in case she has more.Originally Posted by katladyd
When my RB Lhasa had pups many years ago, she didn't pass all the afterbirth. It poisoned her system and she passed this infection on to the pups thru her milk, and 3 of the 6 pups died in the first 2 days after their birth. I rushed her and the remaining pups to the vet and that's when I found out what was going on, and Momma had an emergency hysterectomy. If she hadn't, she and the rest of the pups would have died from the infection. Not passing a pup or kitten, would have the same outcome.
BTW - Momma dog lived to the ripe old age of 16!
