How to Remove Umbilical Cords From Puppies
- 1). Remove the amniotic membrane from your puppy if the mother hasn't done so in one to three minutes after birth (see Related eHows.)
- 2). Cut the puppy's umbilical cord if the mother has not severed it with her teeth by tying a knot in the umbilical cord 1-inch away from the puppy's navel.
- 3). Tie another knot 1/4 inch above the first knot.
- 4). Cut between the two knots with clean scissors.
- 5). Dip the severed end that's attached to the puppy in providine solution.
