| Umbilical too short! Mama cut the umbilical too short. There is precious little left but I put a clamp on it. How long do I leave it on? Sylvia |

| Hopefully the baby is okay. Sometimes moms do cut them too short and that is why we always cut the cord ourself if possible. We alway just tie ours with dental floss if they are bleeding. |

We had 5 girls and one boy. The first girl was too immature to live. Mama had her before I found her having the babies. Thanks for your help. Sylvia | |

| i hope your baby is okay. This is exactly the reason I cut my own cords. I watched one of my moms stretch it out such a long ways, I was sure she was going to hurt the puppy. I took it from her and cut it myself as I have all mine. A too short cord can also cause an umbilical hernia. Congratulations on your litter and I am sorry you lost one. |

| Sorry that you lost one! Congrats on your large litter! Hope all are doing well. Next litter, please tie the cords with something. I use sewing string. Others use dental flose. |

| cords I use the clamp and crimp them for a few minutes..and find no need to use floss or string...it is cleaner. Do whatever works for you...but I understand a mom who won't get her head out of her butt to let you see what is going on..LOL |

| It is funny how all females are different. Some of mine will just lay there and let me do all the work, especially the first time moms. The more experienced moms would just rather do it themselves but it makes me too nervous to let them. I have never tried the clamp method mainly because the mom is always so anxious to see her baby so we just tie it off and then let mom take over right away. What kind of clamp do you use and do you leave the puppy away from the mother while it is clamped? |
