Will i decrease her food intake and remove her dry food left in her plate? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 15 lbs

It is to be expected that, with the extra demands of nursing pups, Aurora will need more calories and, therefore, will need to poop more often. It's one of the joys of having a litter that you get to leave your comfy bed during the night to take the mom out! Do not decrease her food intake, as she needs the extra nutrients. Just grin and bear it, remembering that this will pass soon enough!
