The sister of my neighbour's dog has just had an OOPS litter. Presa canario mother, unknown father, 9 pups. This is not a Christmas money making scheme because my neighbour (mother of the dog owner) has come to me to ask for my help in finding free to good homes.
Okay, please don't ask me why the owner didn't get the litter aborted or whatever because I don't know. I didn't even know the dog was pregnant until the puppers were born two days ago. Thing is they are here now and I'll do whatever I can to help them get good homes.
So ... on to the point of my post. I've never had any experience with dog breeding. Apparently the dam has a black discharge when she's going to the toilet. Is this normal or something to worry about? Far as I know the whole birthing was done without vetinary consultation whatsoever (I know, I know ) but should I be screaming at her to get the dog to the vet because of the discharge?
