The Xiasi dog gives birth about 2 months after pregnancy

The time from pregnancy to delivery of the Xiasi dog is basically about 60 days. This 60 days is calculated from when the dog is pregnant, and the delivery time varies according to the size of the dog. The so-called cats, three dogs and four dogs are all wrong. Dogs are not born for 4 months, and the longest time is no more than 65 days. Therefore, it is necessary to accompany the dog for a physical examination before giving birth and make preparations.

Feeding your dog properly during pregnancy

The most reasonable feeding method for pregnant dogs is to increase the weekly feeding amount by 15% from the 5th week of pregnancy. When giving birth (9th week), the female dog eats 60% more food than during breeding. If your dog is pregnant with many babies, it may lose its appetite in the week before delivery or 7-10 days before delivery due to the enlarged abdomen and reduced amount of exercise. At this time, eating small amounts and frequent meals is a good idea.

The purpose of scientific feeding is to prevent the female dog from becoming too obese, maintain a normal appetite and provide nutrition to meet the needs of the mother and child. About 2 days before giving birth, the female dog's nipples droop and a small amount of milk can be squeezed out.

The living environment of the Xiasi Dog changes after pregnancy

You should also pay attention to your daily life. Pregnant dogs will sleep significantly more, and owners should provide a quiet environment to ensure their sleep quality.

The female dog’s weight will increase greatly during pregnancy, and her movements will be less flexible than before. You should try to avoid her jumping from high places or jumping over obstacles to avoid causing injuries. Danger. In addition, the female dog’s enlarged abdomen makes it difficult for her to clean her vulva and lift her legs to itch. These tasks can only be done by the owner.

Another little thing is that the female dog’s food and water intake will increase, and the frequency of defecation will also increase. You have to take her out several times a day, but don’t hold the baby back.

Preparation before pregnancy for Xiasi dogs

Dogs should go to the hospital regularly for prenatal check-ups after pregnancy. The doctor can check the condition of the mother dog and the puppies, and can also give the owner some advice to ensure that the mother and the puppies are safe. I personally do not recommend prenatal X-ray examinations because X-rays may affect the development of the fetus.

Prenatal preparation is very important. I would like to remind everyone that the pregnancy period of a dog is actually 63 days, but the puppy may be born 7 days earlier or later. Don’t be fooled by what we say. Cats, three dogs and four are affected and mistakenly thought it was four months. The litter box should be prepared three weeks before birth and the bitch should be familiar with and like it. Don't wait until the last minute to put your female dog in an unfamiliar crate.

If you can trim the hair around the mammary glands of long-haired dogs, the newborn puppies willThe dog will find the nipple more easily. Similarly, in order to avoid making a long-haired bitch too messy during delivery, you can use scissors to cut off the hair around the vulva. In the last few weeks of pregnancy, a pregnant dog's body temperature is slightly lower than the normal 38 degrees, and may drop to about 36 degrees in the 24 hours before birth.

The development of breasts is also different. Some pregnant dogs may have sufficient milk one month before giving birth, while others may not have milk until one day after giving birth. During this period, they can only be fed artificially. puppy. Most pregnant dogs refuse to eat within 24 hours before giving birth, or only choose a small amount of their favorite foods. Some will vomit slightly before giving birth. As the placenta begins to separate, green mucus will often be secreted suddenly two or three hours before delivery. This is normal, so please don't be nervous.
