The puppies will learn how to behave amongst themselves over the next week or so, keeo any wounds bathed with saline or dilute chlorhexidine/iodine to prevent infection. Do not apply any topical ointment as the other pups may lick and swallow it. Report to your vet if the wounds become infected/red/pus covered
