... some very good advice on practical action. I have no problem cleaning up the oozing lumps and applying the antiseptic cream to the lumps when she's over the shock of them bursting, but it is so sad and frustrating to see her reaction immediately they burst and for the following 24 hrs.

She's getting on in age and what with the development of eye problems too she sometimes feels very sorry for herself. When this is the case she takes herself off to a quiet place away from the puppies and who can blame her!

Thanks again for all the advice.
