Dog fertility memo

Dogs last for about 63 days from fertilization to childbearing. During this period, owners should read more information on how to take care of pregnant females and newborn puppies, so as to prepare for the birth of babies. However, as a responsible dog owner, it is best to sterilize his dog.

Overweight female dogs make it difficult to give birth.

Signs of a female dog during pregnancy include increased food intake, weight gain and chest enlargement, but even if the female dog has the above signs, it does not necessarily mean that she is pregnant, so if in doubt, consult a veterinarian.

Female dogs should be fed with the usual amount of high-quality dry dog food for four weeks after the beginning of pregnancy. In the later period of pregnancy, female dogs will increase their demand for protein by 50% more than usual, but do not make it too fat, because over-nutritious female dogs will give birth to fat puppies, making it difficult to give birth.

In the last three weeks of pregnancy, female dogs should be allowed to eat more and eat less, because BB dogs take up a lot of space in the belly of female dogs, so female dogs should not eat too much at once.

A few days before the puppy is born, the female may refuse to eat and start building her own nest. Dog owners should prepare a reproductive box, otherwise it may give birth to BB dogs in your room. The size of the reproductive box should be twice that of the female, with fences on all sides, high enough to prevent the puppy from falling, and the box should be kept in a warm place.

Be fully prepared to welcome new life

When the birth process is under way, dog owners may need to prepare spherical syringes to suck out puppy secretions, pliers to handle the blood-containing umbilical cord, and floss cotton rope to ligate the umbilical cord, disinfectant, scissors, clean towels and lots of newspapers.

Within minutes of each puppy's birth, the placenta will burst and the female will eat all or part of the placenta. Dog owners must ensure that the number of placentas is equal to the number of BB dogs, because if there are surplus placentas, problems may arise in the future.

When another BB dog is ready to be born, the owner should put the first BB dog in a prepared basket at a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit, which is very important because most BB dogs die of cold.

If the following occurs, you should seek help from a veterinarian:

1. After more than three hours of delivery, no puppies have been born.

two。 The first puppy was born with a dark green or blood-colored liquid

3. The intima ruptured, but no puppies were born in 30 minutes.

4. When delivery stops, the female appears restless, worried, weak and tired.

In addition, before giving birth, the female dog should discuss with the veterinarian whether to perform a laparotomy to remove the dog.
