Dog pregnancy symptoms:
Dog HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is not secreted during pregnancy, so the test strips used to detect whether people are pregnant cannot be used to check whether bitches and cats are pregnant. To confirm whether a dog or cat is pregnant, you can go to the veterinary hospital for an ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis. Signs of pregnancy in a female dog appear about a week after mating. The specific manifestations are: the genitals of the pregnant bitch will shrink rapidly, and pregnancy reactions such as vomiting and loss of appetite may occur during three or four weeks of pregnancy. At 20-30 days of pregnancy, the pregnant dog's mammary glands are prominent, the breasts are swollen, and the nipples are pink. In the fourth week after breeding, touch the position of the uterus in the abdomen of the bitch, the pregnant bitch can feel the embryo of the size of an egg
How to take care of the pregnant bitch:
1 to 30 days is the first stage. The bitch who has just conceived (about one to two weeks) should avoid strenuous exercise, which is prone to miscarriage! Just ensure the normal feeding level of the bitch, do not add too much Meat, eggs, nutrition and food intake, because the fetus grows slowly and is very small, if you feed too much food, the nutrition will be absorbed by the bitch, which is equivalent to fattening the bitch! Being fat and not exercising is prone to dystocia!
30 to 45 days is the second stage, the fetus in the womb of the bitch begins to grow! The most direct change you can feel is the frequent urination of the bitch. If you used to walk the dog once in the morning and evening, Then you need to add one or two more times a day, increase the amount of exercise appropriately, so that the female dog's body will be in great shape! Supplement probiotics to regulate the stomach and make the dog's digestion better, E pet has it. There is also an appropriate increase in nutrition, such as meat, eggs, nutritional cream...it must be a small amount. If the fetus absorbs too much nutrition and grows too fast, it will also be difficult to give birth!
45-60 days is the third stage , you can clearly see the bitch's belly bulging! In the last few days, you can feel the fetus rolling in the belly! Make sure the bitch gets a certain amount of exercise. If the bitch can't run, take it more walk. At this time, the bitch is like a hungry wolf, never enough to eat! It is necessary to control the amount of feeding (about 20%~50% more than usual is enough!), if you feed too much, you will harm it! The most important thing The most important thing is to control the diet reasonably and keep exercising!
Finally, the pregnancy (pregnancy) cycle of dogs as mentioned before is: small dogs about 58-60 days, large dogs Dogs are around 60-63 days old. Around the 55th day of pregnancy (58 days for large dogs), the dog's rectal temperature was measured and recorded every morning and evening. 12-24 hours before giving birth, the dog's nipple will have colostrum that can be squeezed out, and the body temperature will drop by about 1 degree. The bitch will find clothes and a warm place to make a nest
