Is it normal for a dog to have diarrhea after giving birth?  The pups were born on June 2nd, and the momma has been having very loose stools ever since. Should we be concerned?
She is drinking lots of water, and eating normally.

yes take her in to the vet. My family had a yorkshire terrior who was very proud the first day then the next started leaving her pups and haveing diareha she died that day also. just to make sure take her in don't call the vet hospital, because they said she would be fine but she died so they need to actually see her.

Yes , it is normal, but if it has been going on for over a month now i think you should take the mother to the vet, maby the puppies too.
