How Long Does a Dog Bleed After Giving Birth?

Lochia is odorless and should not have pus in it. When lochia has a foul smell or pus, it indicates infection. While bleeding is normal after birth, if a dog is bleeding a large amount of blood or fresh blood clots, she may be suffering from postpartum hemorrhaging, according to High Street Epping Veterinary Clinic. Dogs that exhibit symptoms of abnormal bleeding after birth need medical attention to avoid further complications.
