She may. But what if she doesn't?
Many new mothers look at it and say 'No Way..I'm not touching that"!! You need to be prepared to take care of it if she doesn't. And like someone already mentioned...I personally cut and tie all cords to prevent an accident from an inexperienced or too aggressive mom. I have heard too many stories of cords bit too short, or tummies being ripped open, and legs being accidentally chewed off. I don't even take that chance and just do it my self. Hemo's, dull scissors, and plain dental floss are a must in your whelping kit.
