If you believe your dog has a retained placenta, you need to take her to a veterinarian to have her examined. A retained placenta can cause infection and necrosis of the uterus, which could kill your dog.

Note: when taking your dog with new puppies to the vet, you need to take all the puppies with you - it's not a good idea to try to leave them at home. Nestle them in a laundry basket or a plastic storage bin with towels across the bottom to transport them safely.
