If you're bottle-feeding, you'll want to be sure to tilt her head up so that the nipple will go almost straight down. If you continue to see milk coming out of the nostrils, you'll want to go back into the doctors office for a recheck.

    This pup may just be eating a little too vigorously, but if it continues and is a consistent problem, it could indicate she has a congenital defect in her palate/nasal cavity that allows milk to come out of her nose during swallowing.
