Hi all - thanks in advance for any input. Before Molly had her pups (first for both of us) I noticed that she had an uneven number of nipples on each side - and some really tiny almost mole looking ones down at the bottom on each side closest to her back legs. I thought at the time that maybe they were nipples that never fully developed.

Anyway, fast forward to three days after pupps, the back is REALLY swollen - pink, not red and not hot. I kept latching the pupps on her "normal" sized back nipples to try and relieve the engorgement - no luck - I just noticed that milk is oozing out of those tiny little mole nipples - they are too small for a pup to latch onto - and I don't think that just two of them can dry up - not sure what to do??? Do the sets of nipples share milk - or do they each have their own gland system. Any ideas?
