What to do for a 3-week-old puppy bitten by mom and yelping?

From the sound of it, she is severely injured and is probably in great pain as well, you will need to take her to the vet, she will probably need an antibiotic course and possibly some pain killers as well.

I hate to hear this happened. Here is a link about raising orphaned puppies which may help: https://www.petcoach.co/article/orphaned-puppies-how-to-raise-them/ You will need to feed the puppy the appropriate puppy formula (not cow or goat milk) as well as attend all it's needs (make sure it is using the bathroom, being kept warm...etc) unless the mother accepts it back. You may ask your veterinarian if re-introduction is possible or it it should stay separate. Also, not all dogs are good mothers. You may consider not breeding Misty in the future. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Clean the wound now with water and mild soap. Get some saline wound wash (PLAIN SALINE) from a pharmacy and use the wound wash to thoroughly wash the wound twice a day. I would recommend that you use a [wound care product](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-pet-wound-and-skin-hydrogel) daily as well. It would be best to keep momma dog from licking it, and the only way to do that is to place an e-collar (cone) on the momma dog so she can’t reach to lick it. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything you can safely give over the counter for pain. Please do not give aspirin or any other baby formulated pain relievers. This wound is at high risk of getting infected, and at such a young age that could become very serious very quickly. I understand if you need to try to manage the wound at home for financial reasons, but if the skin around the wound is getting increasingly inflamed, or if the puppy isn’t eating or is acting lethargic, you need to try to arrange to get the puppy seen by a veterinarian somehow. Otherwise he could become septic and this could result in death. As long as the pup is eating, is vocal and alert, it is reasonable to manage as described at home, but please keep a very close eye on this puppy. Thanks for asking PetCoach!

Ouch, poor Norah. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give her, many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Please take her into a vet now for treatment, she will need antibiotics in addition to pain medication. Best of luck.

Unfortunately, there is no home treatment for this. The puppy really needs to be seen to make sure there wasn't any serious damage done to his leg, as that can affect his future growth. Newborn puppies are extremely fragile, and if he's in distress, he needs medical attention now. I would take this puppy, his littermates, and his mother into the vet immediately.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about your puppy. Do not give him any human pain relievers, as many are toxic to puppies and can be fatal if given. Given he's running and playing, just observe him tonight. Have him seen by a vet in the morning, and the vet can remove it as needed. Best of luck.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home. You cannot give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. In addition, it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to prescribe any medications for her without seeing her in person first. There will be a vet on call for the holidays, so I would call your local clinics to find the vet on call to see her now. Usually there is an emergency contact number on their website or their answering machine. I would find a vet to see her now if she is in a lot of pain.
