My dog has recently had 4 little puppies. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is something i can put on my dogs nipples as they look red and scratched from the puppies

You can find ointment for human mother's nipples at the drug store..the ones containing lanolin are best..be sure to keep the little tyke's nails trimmed, as more damage is done by their nails than by their teeth..Just trim off the tiny sharp pointed claw portion..
don't use bag balm, or any other strong smelling salve, as this will keep the puppies from nursing, or make them ill..

When I was breastfeeding I used Lanisoh. It doesn't have to be washed off before feeding. If it is safe for a newborn human, you can bet it's probably safe for a puppy. I would use that and call you vet to double check. Should be fine, though.

bag balm or udder sap. you can find them in most any where. both are for cows nipples for that same problem.
remeber to read the label

There may be something of use here.
