OK it has been awhile since I've been on the board but I have some questions about a foster boxer I have. She recently had puppies that appear to all have been put down when she arrived at the shelter. She maybe had them a week ago, still bleeding. She was unadoptable b/c of dog aggression per the SPCA staff and was due to be put down today. She just doesn't want another strange dog in her face, otherwise she ignores them. She currently is being incorperated into the house leerburg style! .
I have no experience with mama dogs so my questions are
1. Can the recent delivery and taking away her puppies attribute to the dog aggression deemed by the shelter staff (it seems mild by me bc I've dealt with dog aggresson before but maybe bc she's not fully recovered yet)?
2. How long until she stops bleeding...should I be using any topicals or anything to prevent infection or is it best to leave that area alone other that just wiping up after her?
3. She is underweight is their anything else besides good nutrition (I don't currently feed raw right now, we do a grain free dry and today I added cottage cheese fish oil and Vit E) that I should give her additionally for recovery more so than a normal shelter dog?
4. Anything else you can think of to do for her or I should be aware of?
Thank you very much in advance, there's always great advice on here.

Oh I almost forgot. She's had solid poos twice but she hasnt peed all day but I think she's been dehydrated. She didn't have any water in the pen I got her out of today at the shelter.

Does SPCA really think this stuff through? Dare I ask why they put down an entire litter?

Yes, bitches are more dog aggressive after they whelp. Especially of dogs they don't know but can be hostile towards dogs they do know.

The longest I've heard of girls still passing gorp from whelping is about a week and a half. So long as it's still the right color and doesn't smell funky I wouldn't worry about her. Walking will help get that stuff out of her.

It's not unusual for bitches to be grossly underweight after whelping. The dairy cow look isn't attractive but they usually bounce back quickly. I'd nix the cottage cheese and just feed standard rations. She'll recover quickly.

Watch for mastitis, uterine infection, and really I'd just worry about bonding her with a person and walking her.

They don't deal with new pups because the kennel is so disease infested the pups will die anyways. If you don't intercept as the dog is on it's way by some worker sneaking them to someone(I fostered orphan pups this way once)they are killed immmediately on arrival. My husband saw her and said she just looked so sad and very sweet.
The kennel actually was refusing to let me have her and only let me take her if I went through a rescue group, and made the rescue owner come down to get her out, stating liability for dog aggression...really isn't anything with teeth a "liability"? and their temperment tests are crap, very unstable dogs get through their temperment tests and good dogs easily get put down by shear luck of the day deemed unadoptable because they don't immediately warm up to strange dogs.
Isn't it MY responsibility to keep the dogs from tearing eachother apart?
We have major dog-overpopulatin issues around here, our SPCA put down more dogs than any other in California. More pitbulls than anything people breed them like rabbits around here.
I don't think I've ever gotten a rescue that wasn't somewhat apprehensive of a new environment and new dogs.
I am taking her on a few short walks daily, her stamina is low and its very hot here. So we don't get very far.
As far as a uterine or mastitis problem, do I just check for heat and swelling?

Heat, swelling, and odd colored/smelly discharge. I'd plan a vet visit within the next couple weeks to discuss when you should spay her since she's a foster (ideally before next heat).

It's funny that you mention over population. I know all our shelters locally are about half full or less right now. The small shelter down the road has I believe four dogs right now out of thirty runs and the other has seven out of 35 runs. One of them actually is seeking dogs from out of state to adopt out because they haven't been able to find enough transfers in state.

Really hardly any dogs? Wow there are many here. I guess we must have a lot more irresponsible breeding going on here. The shelter is always full of dogs, it's dirty and much of the staff is apathetic to the dogs. I know that the rescue I had get this dog out has over 100 dogs and is constantly getting new ones without enough room for them all. She adopts out at the local petsmart and is lucky to get 1-2 out in a weekend.
How would she contact them to ship out the dogs i wonder?

The boxer will be spayed by a local low cost spay and neuter clinic but I will take her to my own vet for exam.
She's peppier this morning complaining about the crate a bit today after her morning stroll and breakfast.

I love boxers...can you link to a pix of her?

I agree about ditching the Cottage cheese, but you could certainly add in some plain yogurt or Kefir, full fat is hard to find but I add it into my skinny boy's food whenever I can.

I will post a pic once I get my camera back! My sister-in-law borrowed it and hasn't given it back yet!
