It is necessary to examine your matron’s mammary glands daily, directly before whelping and throughout nursing and weaning periods. A secretion of moderately thick liquid clear or brown with streaks of white milk is normal.
If this discharge is bloody or yellowish in color you need to consult with your vet. The first secretion, known as colostrums, is normal and present in every new mother. Colostrums contain the mother’s antibodies and are necessary to newborn puppies, particularly in the first 24 hours of life.
If you are tube or bottle feeding, and the dam has colostrums, express some into the formula. Keep your dam updated on immunizations prior to mating time. Never vaccinate a pregnant dog. The antibodies in the colostrums protect the newborn puppies against infectious diseases to which the mother is immune.

Matrons will shed hair along the abdomen prior and after whelping. However, if your matron has long hair, it is likely you will need to trim close also. The best is to shave down the entire abdomen and genitalia area just prior to whelping. Puppies can ingest air while nursing if hair remains around the mammary glands. The presence of hair also collects milk and promotes rapid bacterial growth and can cause illness in the puppies, which can lead rapidly to death.
Heavy mammary glands require daily washing and thorough drying of the entire abdominal area until the puppies are weaned. The dam’s milk glands should always feel pliable, being moderately soft although heavy and full feeling to your examination. Your matron is in trouble should there be any hardness in an entire individual gland or row, visible redness and/or red streaks or yellowish or bloody discharge expressed.
Placing a bandage over the nipple of the affected teat is usually sufficient to stop very young puppies from nursing. Use a small amount of camphorated oil of Vicks VapoRub to stop older puppies from nursing at an infected site. Seek veterinarian care for your matron. Nursing from infected mammary glands could cause serious illness and diarrhea in the puppies.
For clean up use a little bleach and sudsy water to clean the whelping box and the box you keep your newborn puppies in.
