It's not uncommon for the mother dog to develop mastitis, the medical term for an infection of the dog's milk-producing glands. It's often caused by the puppy's nails scratching the nipples or unsanitary conditions. Symptoms include hot, painful mammary glands, and a pus/bloody discharge from nipples.
