My dog had about 8 puppies a couple of months ago and her teets are still there? How long should it take for them to "disappear/go away" Also, it looks like she has broken out with some kind of skin rash. Any ideas on any kind of cream to put on her? I have NO idea where it could have possibly come from.

You might want to seek the advice of a vet for the rash. Best not to play around with things you're unsure about.

Conditioning the dog with exercise usually helps to "tuck up" the belly a bit.

However, since it doesn't sound like you're breeding reputably or working with a breeding mentor, I highly suggest you have this dog spayed.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.
She is getting spayed soon (1 week).

excersie is best to tone up the tummy...Is the rash in between the teats area ?

 

[MissMutt]

Sounds good. Breeding is hard on a dog, and if you're not breeding for any particular reason (work, show, performance) it is not worth bringing more puppies into a world that is already overrun with them.

Backside area, sadly

Sounds like allergies (flea allergy dermatitis) or potentially demodex (although that usually shows up on the face first). Vet.

While exercise does help to tighten the abdominal muscles, often for bitches that have had a litter thier teats never return back to the way they were before.

And for the rash you'll have to have her examined by a vet. Most likely they will want to do a skin scrape to rule out or determine the cause of the rash. Chances are they will also prescribe antibiotics and possibly a topical ointment.

lots of good exercise should tone those teats up good (preferable b/4 being spayed, i've been told, the hormone change from spaying can interfere w/ the toning up) i have yet to have the bitch whose teats didn't go back to normal after a litter w/ proper exercise.....
