seriously my dog had puppies nd i need to kno how to safely cut the umbilical cord with normal house tools

@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.

Thank You! I (we) are expecting puppies and wondered what to do if the mother was too tired to take care of her litter, so now I know what we can do to help if its needed...
