Don't Let The Mother Continue To Chew On The Cord.
Sometimes, however, the female dog is slow to chew apart the cord or is unable to do so. I have a litter of puppies born 6 days. She will usually then eat the placenta.

It can even stay connected for up to ten days at most. After he's been born, someone needs to cut it. Each puppy will have his own umbilical cord and his own placenta.

You will now see a puppy attached to an umbilical cord, which is connected to the placenta which is also now outside of the mother’s body. This is the small piece of flesh that connects the puppy to his or her mother’s placenta. The rigorous cleaning of surfaces and places where puppies live (baskets, mattresses) must precede effective disinfection.
