My dog had parvo. Why are her puppies dying suddenly after birth?

Question

My dog had parvo a year ago. She recently had 6 pups, and 4 died today. Her milk are full and looks like she wasn't feeding them but her pups looked fed when they died. What could've been wrong? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 16 lbs

If your dog had the puppies in the same location/area where she had parvo, it is highly likely that the virus is still present in the environment and may affect the young puppies. It may also be that Precious is not allowing the pups to nurse. I would recommend monitoring them closely to see if she is allowing them to nurse. If she’s not you will need to bottle feed the pups. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
