Irish Water Spaniel Pregnancy Care Methods:

1. Level the pen.

Before the female Irish Water Spaniel gives birth, she should build a short, warm and insulated den in a leeward, dry and sunny place. You can also renovate the original Irish Water Spaniel kennel and put a layer of wheat straw on the bottom and a bunk on the top. A layer of linoleum and then a layer of grass fence. This can prevent the pups from digging holes in order to sleep comfortably before giving birth, causing unevenness in the house and easily crushing the Irish Water Spaniel puppies after giving birth. When renovating a large house, cracks and loopholes should be filled, small windows should be built, and sacks or straw curtains should be hung outside the door.

2. Calculate the delivery date.

Irish Water Spaniels generally give birth within the 59th to 63rd days after normal mating. Based on the breeding date and pregnancy period, the calving date is accurately calculated and registered. Nutrition should be strengthened after 30 days of pregnancy, and feeds that are easily digestible and rich in protein, calcium and phosphorus should be fed, and some meat, fish meal and bone meal should be added appropriately. About one and a half months of pregnancy, in addition to feeding in the morning and evening every day, the baby should be fed once at noon. Before delivery, the feeding amount should be slightly reduced, small and frequent meals should be given, do not feed too full at one time, and do not give cold feed and cold drinking water. Pay attention to proper exercise, and it is strictly forbidden to bite with other selling dogs to prevent miscarriage. Breeders should pay close attention to the female Irish Water Spaniel after the 57th day of pregnancy, especially at night. Twisted Boliton dogs often give birth in the dead of night. Before delivery, the vagina is edematous and the breasts are swollen and red, and milk can be squeezed out. The female Irish Water Spaniel eats less and even refuses to eat. She is restless and has frequent urination and defecation. She is worried, trembling, and does not listen to commands.

Third, give both grace and power.

During the period of giving birth and raising puppies, the female Irish Water Spaniel is eager to protect her children and is highly vigilant. She appears more ferocious than before and often threatens or bites people who approach the puppies. Therefore, about two weeks before calving, the people approaching should use methods such as stroking, combing, feeding, teasing, training, scolding, and slapping the nose or ears, etc., to build the relationship between human and Irish water dogs. In this way, the dog will not be aggressive and bite during delivery. If the breeder is delivering a baby and the Irish Water Spaniel makes a "whining" sound, snaps teeth or bites suddenly, do not be alarmed. You should hold an object in your right hand to block it and make a threatening sound, and do not run away when threatened.

The pregnancy period passed quickly, and the Irish Water Spaniel ushered in the process of giving birth. The body of the newborn dog baby is very delicate, so we need to clean the kennel, and at the same time we need to pay attention to the control of the temperature, so that Only we can ensure the health of the Irish Water Spaniel.
