She is much better. It must have been fire ants and a few puppies had the bumps too. I'm guessing they got into them out playing with her in the yard. She is almost completely healed up, just a few spots still getting cream and fading quickly.
So Nyla has weaned her pups and the past few days her skin in the teat area has developed all these lumps and bumps. Some seem tender and fluid filled. I've been putting hydrocortisone on her daily but it's getting worse. HELP!!!!
I don't believe it was anything wrong at this point. She has kept up with her pup and they look a lot more normal now that the milk demand went up. They are soft now and her nipples look really great, even though the puppies are getting teeth and nursing a lot. They are started on soft food and...

Since it started I've been looking into and suspecting mastitis but it is in all of her breast and from what I have read it usually only affects one. Did your dog have it in all of hers?
I'm trying to get pictures that describe and show exactly what I am talking about. Basically use your imagination and picture a dog that looks and feels like it got artificial breast implants. Not a normal lactating momma dog. My husband has whelped several litters of puppies and said he has...
Hello Friends!
My yellow black mouth cur had puppies 10 days ago and her breast are square shaped, extremely hard, and look very deformed. She is nursing her pups, eating, drinking, and none have any odd marks or obvious problems. They do get much softer and more normal after she nurses, but...
