Pay attention to hygiene after giving birth

After a female dog gives birth, her vulva, tail, breasts and other parts will become dirty and unclean. They should be washed with warm water without affecting her rest. Clean and dry. Replace contaminated bedding and pay attention to insulation and moisture-proofing of the delivery room. Never take a bath to prevent water from flowing back through the open vulva and causing infection. Dogs should not be bathed during lactation. There are also many dogs whose milk is stimulated after bathing. The little guys have no food and it is difficult to raise them.

Pay attention to calcium supplementation after the dog has given birth

Due to excessive physical exertion, the body is very weak. At this time, the little houseworkers have no hearing, no vision, only the sense of smell and are not flexible. Special attention should be paid to prevent the female dog from Squeeze the baby. If you hear the short barking of the puppy, you should go to check immediately and take out the squeezed little guy in time. A common situation is that after giving birth, the mother gasps for breath, and the haha ​​is very rapid. This is caused by calcium deficiency. Eat some liquid calcium to absorb it, and it will be fine after a while. Even if you supplement her with a lot of calcium during pregnancy, she will still behave like this. Especially dog ​​mm with a lot of children.
Postpartum dogs are sometimes very irritable. Behaviors such as running on the floor and scratching the wall usually show that the female dog is more cautious and does not want the child to be disturbed, or is just killing time. Let me tell you, don’t pay attention. The little ones are also very important to me.
Dogs with a strong sense of territory are not allowed to visit by strangers, because after giving birth, female dogs have a strong instinct to protect their babies and are very sensitive. When strangers come near, they will attack onlookers in order to protect their babies. Even the puppies are eaten.

Pay attention to nutritional supplements after giving birth

Bitches generally do not eat within 6 hours after giving birth and always rest in the nest except for defecation and defecation. At this time, warm water can be given. Within two or three days after giving birth, the female dog is still not interested in eating. Therefore, it should be fed high-quality but small-quantity food multiple times a day. Egg yolk is a good nutritional supplement.

Other issues to pay attention to after the dog has given birth

1. Lochia and vaginal bleeding will not stop. Postpartum fast health or Houttuynia cordata injection is required to promote uterine contraction. Going to the hospital is just like this, maybe the name is different. You can eat motherwort and brown sugar water after delivery, which can warm and protect the uterus and help the dog's mother to recover quickly.
2. Loss of appetite. It is common for small dogs to be careful about eating too much placenta. Feeding injections can be given.
3. If the milk supply is insufficient, boiling crucian carp or pig's feet in white soup will help to release milk. The milk supply gradually decreases after 14 days, but the children's demand is increasing. Get ready for dairy alternatives.

Six aspects of postpartum care for dog mothers

1. Within 2-3 days after giving birth, the dog mother should feed one-third of the food during pregnancy, and the food can be less but more refined (the dog mother’s appetite is also Not too good), it can be gradually increased after 4 days, and the original food intake can be restored in 10 days.
2. DogDuring breastfeeding, mothers should pay attention to food that is rich in nutrients to meet the needs of lactation. The dog mother should be fed 3-4 meals a day. If the milk is insufficient, brown sugar water or milk can be added to the food. Feeding some broth on a regular basis is also very effective.
3. During this period, the mother dog should also be groomed and cleaned, and should be bathed once a week.
4. When the weather is warm, take the mother dog outside for a walk at least twice a day. Half an hour each time, and can be extended accordingly in the future. But you can't do strenuous exercise.
5. Pay attention to the hygiene of the delivery room, clean it every day, replace the bedding in time, and disinfect the delivery room once a month. (I don’t know how many people can insist on doing this)
6. Finally, pay attention to keeping the delivery room and the surrounding environment quiet. Avoid loud noises, strong light and other strong stimulation, so that both mother and child can rest well.
