My dog's puppies died after birth. How do I dry up her milk?

Once the puppies stop nursing, the milk production will stop and the mammary gland will slowly decrease in size. The fact that all the puppies died might indicate the mother is not in good health, I would recommend taking her to the vet nd get her checked, I would also recommend having her spayed in a couple months from now.

The best thing to make Princess feel better is to focus on exercise, playtime and a routine. Her milk will dry up over the next week in general. If you’re not planning on breeding Princess, I recommend to have her spayed. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

Poor Daisy! Cool compresses and cabbage leaves can help but you should make sure to try to minimize stimulation of her mammary glands as much as possible and minimize contact. A tight fitting jacket or Thundershirt might also help.

Poor mama dog! Don't worry--her lactation will stop as soon as her hormones realize there is no more nursing going on. She will gradually stop lactating and her mammary glands will dry up in a few days. This is a normal process with weaning and no cause for concern.

If she had puppy recently and she was feeding them, is normal to produce milk for few days after stopping the activity. Without puppies stimulating milk production by suckling, Gracie will stop the milk production soon. Do not squeeze the milk out otherwise she will continue to produce it and monitor the mammary gland. If the glands become painful/red/inflammed, please seek veterinarian attention. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.

If she stopped feeding them suddenly then mastitis would be a risk (she may refuse them because it is painful or the excess milk after she stopped could cause the problem after). If she is off form, has any fever or her milk glands are red, hot or painful to firm touch then she will need prescription treatment from a vet. If everything is otherwise good, just monitor for any changes. 48 hours of very light food if she is healthy and not underweight can discourage active milk production but do not starve her

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At almost 5 weeks old they can be totally weaned in the next week or two. Karma will dry up. Start offering the puppies canned puppy food the wet dry kibble mixed with canned. I would only let them nurse twice a day for the next week and only once a day the next. Then keep them off her. I hope this helps?
