Can I ask why you didn't let the mother do most of the work like licking
her own puppy and having the first bond with it instead of taking it away
and doing it, I understand if it was like the 5th or 6th puppy and
sometimes the mother gets really tired. We bred our boxer one time, she had
9 puppies and we were with her the entire time making sure she was doing
everything and helping if it was needed. We needed to cut the cord for the
last three and help dry them because she was just really exha
Don't be so quick to whine about the mum not doing it - I breed pugs and
they, along with lots of other breeds, don't usually make great mums and,
because of their peculiar dentition, they aren't best placed to bite the
bag open or chew through the cord. Far better to get that done quickly and
efficiently and then hand puppy back to the milk bar. And before anyone
says 'what would they do in the wild?' Well, pugs wouldn't exist in the
wild! I bred Spaniels before and they do everything.
To answer all of the questions: it is not a good idea to let the mother eat
the afterbirth and cut the cord. When we first allowed our dam to eat the
afterbirth she threw up everything that was in her stomach. Allowing the
mother to cut the umbilical cords can lead to a hernia and the mother
accidentally chewing off a leg. Dogs are perfectly capable of taking care
of everything but if you are there to assist, you should. Some dogs also
don't know what to do and you have to take over.
Allowing the mother to eat too much afterbirth can also lead to diarrhea
and dehydration which is bad for a mother nursing puppies, same with
vomiting.

@BitchSlapperable you can subsitute dental floss for the clamps, then any
pair of scissors. But never just cut it! Use the scissor to shred the cord.
The best method is to let Mom take care of it as long as she will. I have
one Mom I watch close as she over cleans to the point of no cord left and
the puppy is bleeding. They should have a short cord hanging for several
days that dries up and falls off on it's own. If you have any concerns you
should call your Vet first.
The best method is to let Mom take care of it as long as she will. You can
get all of those things at any Medical supply store or from Amazon. You can
use dental floss to tie off cords, you can use any type of sharp scissors
but don't cut - shred the cord. You really need to be prepared before the
babies come - not wait until the last minute. That seems to be the theme of
most comments.
