In the third stage of labor the dam will deliver the placenta. There will be one placenta per puppy. Usually the dam will deliver one puppy followed by a placenta. Keep track of the placentas because sometimes a dam will not have them in this order. For example some may have two puppies and then 2 placentas. This is a Yorkshire Terrier dam eating the placenta. Eating the placenta after birth is a normal instinct for many animals. Dogs and cats both do this. The placenta provides nourishment, which helps them kick off their milk supply for the puppies, however too many may cause diarrhea or vomiting, so if you have a large litter you may want to remove some of the placentas to prevent this from happening.
