??? about raw and sore teets on mommy dog - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bentley&BitsysMom · 02-13-2006, 05:25 PM

My friends Westie that had 11 puppies about three weeks ago has extremely raw and sore teets....not mastitis or hard or anything...she is still nursing the pups but will only let them nurse while she stands up for a few minutes and then she is out of there....her whole tummy is scratched up from the claws and red and kind of dark looking....

can anyone reccommend a remedy or ointment that would be good to rub on her teets to relieve discomfort and not be harmful to the pups????

Thanks bunches

I know Bag Balm was created for cows udders but not sure about the puppies.

P.S. It is sold in just about any drugstore now as it is great for chapped hands and lips.

Trim those babies' nails! and keep momma's scratches clean.

Thanks for your replies...I'll check out the Bag Balm

She is a groomer so I don't know why she hasn't trimmed the nails

Bumping this in case anyone else has any suggestions
