QuestionOur english bulldog just had her 9 puppies, natural birth, all of their umbilical cords just fell off today (they are 3 days old). Some of them look normal with tiny holes, but there are 2 that look like they have a little pus, and are slighty larger. Also, is it normal for them to have runny noses or really wet noses?
AnswerYou can apply neosporin to the umbilical areas. If they are not healing, then you should take the pups to the vet.
If the noses are a bit wet that is okay. If there is any green or yellow discharge, that is not normal. Make sure to closely examine their mouths for any holes in their palate.
