Puppy Management

A dog that is about two weeks old is called a puppy. They are completely non-viable, so breeders should take good care of them.

Newborn dogs don't gradually open their eyes until about two weeks after birth, and then don't see clearly for another one to two weeks. The ear also can hear sound five or six days after birth. So they should not be placed in bright places so as not to affect the dog's vision.

The urinating bitch of the newborn dog is more thoughtful, and the owner does not need to worry. But after 20 days, I felt a little powerless. Therefore, it is necessary to change the kennel frequently in the future to create a good environment for the growth of the puppies.

From a nutritional point of view, it is best for newborn dogs to breastfeed by a bitch. If there are too many puppies, care should be taken to let the puppies follow the bitch in an exchange method, otherwise the puppies with weak living ability will not be able to suck the bitch's milk . If there is such a situation in the puppy, other methods of breastfeeding must be adopted, otherwise it will be difficult for the puppy to grow up healthily.

The amount of milk needed by newborn dogs will increase after ten days, and the amount of milk of bitches will be insufficient. At this time, artificial breastfeeding is required. The nursing device can use a small glass bottle, put the rubber nipple directly into the puppy's mouth, and the nipple hole should be as small as possible. The temperature of bovine and goat milk used should be compatible with the temperature of breast milk. Therefore, it is necessary to test the temperature with your hands before breastfeeding. The amount of milk received should be properly controlled according to the food intake of different puppies, and the frequency should be five to six times a day. When breastfeeding, place the bottle at a slight angle to allow the puppy to suck quietly.
