Do dogs miscarry on their own? Dogs do not miscarry on their own. If the dog expels the stillborn fetus on its own, then no further special treatment is required by the owner, and intensive cleaning of the dog’s vulva is sufficient. However, it is possible for a dog to miscarry without losing all of it. It is best to send the dog to the vet for an ultrasound to confirm whether there is a dead fetus in the mother’s belly. The dog needs to be cleaned out of the uterus after the miscarriage, and appropriate antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment should be given. If not handled properly, the dog’s uterus can easily become inflamed and end up causing life-threatening injuries.
