Hey ladies, my lo's umbilical cord got stuck on his onesie last night and i didn't realize it and it ripped lo (little one) umbilical cord came off 1 week post postpartum when dh (dear husband) it was starting to come off on its own already, but it was still about halfway attatched.
Kind of like when you pick a new scab.
Keep the cord clean and dry by changing or washing bedding as soon as it becomes soiled, and wiping the puppy clean if he soils himself. Tie off the umbilical cord using unwaxed dental floss or clean thread roughly 1 inch from the puppy's abdomen, taking care not to tug on the umbilical cord.
