Ive just bought a bitch staffie shes recently had a litter of pups and it has left her nipples hanging down quite a bit does anyone know how i can get them back to normal?

They won't go back to how they were pre pregnancy, but won't stay huge, how long ago did she have the litter?

depending on how long ago she had them lots of exercise will help and also swimming is good to help them get back to normal

To be honest apart from getting the bitch fit and the underlying muscles firm there isn't a lot you can do about the undercarriage, nature will reduce them or sometimes they are still rather obvious and glandular.

My Jozi has been spayed for a year yet still has obvious mammary tissue and fairly large nipples which would probably show if she were short coated.

Her daughter who had her first litter never got baggy or even looked like a nursing bitch except for the nipples, and was as tight underneath as before a litter after she stopped feeding, and the nipples have also reduced in size, though not quite to their original size, becoming flatter.

My girl's were pretty much back to pre-birth size and sagginess by the time her puppies were 3 or 4 months old, though she did only have 2 pups, so not too much pulling on nipples. They were fully weaned by about 7 or 8 weeks and everything just went back into place very quickly!

I too would expect to be able to have my girls bodies (but not coats) back to showing form by four months after a litter.
