My dog just gave birth yesterday, why is she panting and bleeding?

Question

My dog just gave birth yesterday but she has been panting a lot since and when she came back inside after going potty she had a what looked like a long blood clot hanging out. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 26 days old

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Yes, I would be somewhat worried. It is possible there is a retained piece of placenta or puppy (likely non-viable) still inside her. Panting is usually indicative of pain/discomfort. I suggest you take Luna to the vet for an exam. If you take her in, be sure to take the puppies with you.
