raw teets... as some of you know, Sophie had one pup about 2 weeks ago. the pup always nurses on Soph's top 2 teets. the teets are raw, red and the hair is coming out around the nipples. i have to place the pup & soph on the couch near me and cover the top teets w/my had to force the pup to nurse elsewhere. has anyone ever had this happen before and what did you do? |
lots of lookers ... no biters??? sorry for the pun. :D |
I would just keep putting her on the other teets. |
Sometimes the raw teets are caused by the puppy claws, when they kneed the breast to make the milk flow. Try cutting the little toe nails. |

EXCELLENT suggestion. thank you! |
Just make sure that they nurse on the raw ones some so they don't get engorged:) |
OK not sure about puppy experience but from human experience (I have a baby girl) lanolin is a dream. Seems reasonable that you could use it on dogs and it's totally safe for babies (Lansino brand). Perhaps some lanolin will ease the sore nipples .... |
did trimming the nails work? i trimmed the nails on my puppies and i think i just sharpened them more. poor ahia's underside is so scratched up. is there anything i can put on her to help this heal? is lanolin safe to use with the puppies nursing? |
I solved my problem i think. i cut them shorter. and got some bag balm today for ahia. Funky Chicken, are sophie's teets better? |
yes they are better. i tried placing the pup on different teets. that seemed to work and sophies is still producing a lot of milk. thx so much! |
