It is very important for your dog to prepare delivery supplies before dog giving birth. Here are some supplies and their uses, hoping to help the dog deliver:

1. Disposable plastic gloves: For the sake of hygiene and personal habits, in theory, it is best to wear gloves to operate, so as not to cause the dog's mother's Infect. However, I personally think that if you don't have the habit of wearing gloves, don't wear them, because delivering a dog requires us to move fast. If gloves hinder the speed, it is better not to wear them. Washing your hands with antiseptic soap and rubbing them with alcohol may make the job easier.

2. Alcohol: used for disinfection of hands and instruments, the scissors mentioned below require you to carefully sterilize the blade part with alcohol cotton.

3. Scissors: used to cut the umbilical cord of the newborn puppy. When delivering a dog, after the puppy is detached from the mother dog's belly with the umbilical cord and placenta, use scissors to cut the puppy's umbilical cord. You need to prepare a sharp pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord. Cut, the scissors should not be too large, and use them smoothly, so as not to hurt the dog's stomach.

4. Iodine: It is used to disinfect the belly button of a puppy who has just cut the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord will bleed when the umbilical cord is just cut, don't be afraid, this is a normal phenomenon. (You can't shiver when you see blood when delivering a dog, or it will be a bad thing.) After cutting the puppy's umbilical cord, quickly apply iodine to it, which has the effect of disinfection and hemostasis.

5. Cotton swab: It is used to apply iodine to the cut umbilical cord of the puppy with iodine.

6. Cotton thread or silk thread: It is used to tie the umbilical cord on the belly of the puppy. one time. Although I have prepared something, but the puppy is constantly moving and his hands are shaking, if you really can't tie it, don't tie it.

7. Prepare some warm water for female dogs to drink:

When dogs give birth to puppies, it usually lasts for a long time, some take several hours, and it takes a long time to give birth to puppies. A baby dog is also a physically demanding thing, so it is necessary to add some water to the dog in the middle of delivery. You'll want to keep a bottle of warm water within your reach and give your dog a drink between births.

8. A clean and soft box:

This depends on your situation. If your dog is small, please prepare a den for the mother dog. Small, you can put the puppies directly in the nest, in order to prevent the puppies from crawling around, you can put them in a box first, when the mother dog is finished, and then go with the mother dog Put it in the kennel.

9. Warm water bag:

This is a must-have when giving birth to puppies in winter, because puppies have a very low thermal insulation capacity, and they rely on the mother dog to keep their body temperature , You also need a warm water bag to help the puppy keep the temperature before the mother dog is completely born. But don't make it hot, so as not to burn the dog. It should be 40-50 degrees warm to the touch.

10. Prepare a lot of toilet paper or clean, absorbent rags:

As mentioned earlier, it is not very clean for a dog mother to give birth to a puppy. During the process of giving birth to the puppy, the mother dog will bleed and also have body fluids flowing out, so when delivering the dog, you also need these things to wipe here and there. You can just throw it away when the rag is used up.

Notes:

When a dog mother gives birth to a puppy, it is not necessary for us to deliver the dog. Most dog mothers will naturally know what to do. But we still need to prepare supplies for the delivery of dogs. This is because some dog mothers will be nervous or inexperienced in giving birth to puppies for the first time. Another possibility is that the dog has a dystocia when giving birth to a puppy. At this time, it is particularly important for us to deliver the dog.
